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

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

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

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

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