[Verse 1]
D# Cm
G long time ago came a man on a track
A# Ab
walking thirty miles with a sack on his back
Ab A# D# A#
and he put down his load where he thought it was the best
Ab Fm7 Ab
He made a home in the wilderness
D# Cm
He built a cabin and a winter store
A# Ab
and he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore
Ab A# D# A#
and the other travellers came riding down the track
Ab Fm7 Ab
and they never went further and they never went back
D# Cm
Then came the churches then came the schools
A# Ab
then came the lawyers then came the rules
Ab A# D# A#
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
Ab (D5)
and the dirty old track was the telegraph road

A# D# Cm
I used to like to go to work but they shut it down

I've got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found
Ab A# D# A#
Yes and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed
Ab Fm7 Ab
We're gonna have to reap from seed that's been sowed
D# Cm
And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles
A# Ab
They can always fly away from this rain and this cold
Ab A# D# A#
You can hear them singing out their telegraph code
Ab Cm
all the way down the telegraph road

(C) Cm Dm
You know I'd sooner forget but I remember those nights
A# Ab
When life was just a bet on a race between the lights
Ab A# D# A#
You had your head on my shoulder, you had your hand in my hair
Ab Fm7
Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care
Ab D# Cm
But believe in me baby and I'll take you away
A# Ab
From out of this darkness and into the day
Ab A# D# A# D#
From these rivers of headlights, these rivers of rain
Ab A# D# A# D#
From the anger that lives on the streets with these names
Ab A# D# A# D#
'Ccos I've run every red light on memory lane
Ab A# D# A# D#
I've seen desperation explode into flames
Ab A# D# A#
And I don't wanna see it again. . .
Gm Cm
From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed
Ab D# Ab
all the way down the telegraph road
