[Verse 1]
A# Gm
D long time ago came a man on a track
F Eb
walking thirty miles with a sack on his back
Eb F A# F
and he put down his load where he thought it was the best
Eb Cm7 Eb
He made a home in the wilderness
A# Gm
He built a cabin and a winter store
F Eb
and he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore
Eb F A# F
and the other travellers came riding down the track
Eb Cm7 Eb
and they never went further and they never went back
A# Gm
Then came the churches then came the schools
F Eb
then came the lawyers then came the rules
Eb F A# F
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
Eb (D5)
and the dirty old track was the telegraph road

Eb F A# F
Telegraph sang a song about the world outside
Eb Cm7 Eb
telegraph road got so deep and so wide
Eb (F)
like a rolling river. . .

People driving home from the factories

[Verse 3]
F A# Gm
I used to like to go to work but they shut it down
F Eb
I've got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found
Eb F A# F
Yes and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed
Eb Cm7 Eb
We're gonna have to reap from seed that's been sowed
A# Gm
And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles
F Eb
They can always fly away from this rain and this cold
Eb F A# F
You can hear them singing out their telegraph code
Eb Gm
all the way down the telegraph road

[Verse 4]
(G) Gm Dm
You know I'd sooner forget but I remember those nights
F Eb
When life was just a bet on a race between the lights
Eb F A# F
You had your head on my shoulder, you had your hand in my hair
Eb Cm7
Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care
Eb A# Gm
But believe in me baby and I'll take you away
F Eb
From out of this darkness and into the day
Eb F A# F A#
From these rivers of headlights, these rivers of rain
Eb F A# F A#
From the anger that lives on the streets with these names
Eb F A# F A#
'Ccos I've run every red light on memory lane
Eb F A# F A#
I've seen desperation explode into flames
Eb F A# F
And I don't wanna see it again. . .
Dm Gm
From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed
Eb A# Eb
all the way down the telegraph road
