[Verse 1]
F Dm
A long time ago came a man on a track
C A#
walking thirty miles with a sack on his back
A# C F C
and he put down his load where he thought it was the best
A# Gm7 A#
He made a home in the wilderness
F Dm
He built a cabin and a winter store
C A#
and he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore
A# C F C
and the other travellers came riding down the track
A# Gm7 A#
and they never went further and they never went back
F Dm
Then came the churches then came the schools
C A#
then came the lawyers then came the rules
A# C F C
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
A# (D5)
and the dirty old track was the telegraph road

[Verse 2]
F Dm
Then came the mines - then came the ore
C A#
then there was the hard times then there was a war
A# C F C
Telegraph sang a song about the world outside
A# Gm7 A#
telegraph road got so deep and so wide
A# (F)
like a rolling river. . .

D Gm Gm
And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze
Dm Dm
People driving home from the factories
C
There's six lanes of traffic
Am Dm C
Three lanes moving slow. . .

[Verse 3]
C F Dm
I used to like to go to work but they shut it down
C A#
I've got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found
A# C F C
Yes and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed
A# Gm7 A#
We're gonna have to reap from seed that's been sowed
F Dm
And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles
C A#
They can always fly away from this rain and this cold
A# C F C
You can hear them singing out their telegraph code
A# Dm
all the way down the telegraph road

[Verse 4]
(D) Dm Dm
You know I'd sooner forget but I remember those nights
C A#
When life was just a bet on a race between the lights
A# C F C
You had your head on my shoulder, you had your hand in my hair
A# Gm7
Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care
A# F Dm
But believe in me baby and I'll take you away
C A#
From out of this darkness and into the day
A# C F C F
From these rivers of headlights, these rivers of rain
A# C F C F
From the anger that lives on the streets with these names
A# C F C F
'Ccos I've run every red light on memory lane
A# C F C F
I've seen desperation explode into flames
A# C F C
And I don't wanna see it again. . .
Am Dm
From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed
A# F A#
all the way down the telegraph road
