[Verse 1]
F# D#m
A# long time ago came a man on a track
C# Cb
walking thirty miles with a sack on his back
Cb C# F# C#
and he put down his load where he thought it was the best
Cb G#m7 Cb
He made a home in the wilderness
F# D#m
He built a cabin and a winter store
C# Cb
and he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore
Cb C# F# C#
and the other travellers came riding down the track
Cb G#m7 Cb
and they never went further and they never went back
F# D#m
Then came the churches then came the schools
C# Cb
then came the lawyers then came the rules
Cb C# F# C#
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
Cb (D5)
and the dirty old track was the telegraph road

[Verse 2]
F# D#m
Then came the mines - then came the ore
C# Cb
then there was the hard times then there was a war
Cb C# F# C#
Telegraph sang a song about the world outside
Cb G#m7 Cb
telegraph road got so deep and so wide
Cb (F)
like a rolling river. . .

[Bridge]
D# G#m G#m
And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze
D#m D#m
People driving home from the factories
C#
There's six lanes of traffic
A#m D#m C#
Three lanes moving slow. . .

[Verse 3]
C# F# D#m
I used to like to go to work but they shut it down
C# Cb
I've got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found
Cb C# F# C#
Yes and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed
Cb G#m7 Cb
We're gonna have to reap from seed that's been sowed
F# D#m
And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles
C# Cb
They can always fly away from this rain and this cold
Cb C# F# C#
You can hear them singing out their telegraph code
Cb D#m
all the way down the telegraph road

[Verse 4]
(D#) D#m Dm
You know I'd sooner forget but I remember those nights
C# Cb
When life was just a bet on a race between the lights
Cb C# F# C#
You had your head on my shoulder, you had your hand in my hair
Cb G#m7
Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care
Cb F# D#m
But believe in me baby and I'll take you away
C# Cb
From out of this darkness and into the day
Cb C# F# C# F#
From these rivers of headlights, these rivers of rain
Cb C# F# C# F#
From the anger that lives on the streets with these names
Cb C# F# C# F#
'Ccos I've run every red light on memory lane
Cb C# F# C# F#
I've seen desperation explode into flames
Cb C# F# C#
And I don't wanna see it again. . .
A#m D#m
From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed
Cb F# Cb
all the way down the telegraph road
