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

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

A# D#m D#m

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

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