F Dm
A long time ago came a man on a track
C A# F
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# Gm A#
he made a home in the wilderness
F Dm
he built a cabin and a winter store
C Am A# F
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# F Gm A#
and they never went further and they never went back
F Dm
then came the churches then came the schools
C A# F
then came the lawyers then came the rules
A# C F C
then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
A# Dm
and the dirty old track was the telegraph road
F Dm
Then came the mines - then came the ore
C A# F
then there was the hard times then there was a war
A# C F C
telegraph sang a song about the world outside
A# Gm
telegraph road got so deep and so wide
A# F
like a rolling river. . .
D G
And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze
Dm
people driving home from the factories
C
there's six lanes of traffic
Am Dm
three lanes moving slow. . .
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
F A# C F C
yes and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed
A# Gm
we're gonna have to reap from seed that's been sowed
A# 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
C F
you can here them singing out their telegraph code
C A# Dm
all the way down the telegraph road
C F 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
F A# C F C
you had your head on my shoulder you had your hand in my hair
A# Gm
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
C F C
from these rivers of headlights these rivers of rain
F A# C F C
from the anger that lives on the streets with these names
F A# C F
'cos 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 want to see it again. . .
Am Dm
From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed
A#
all the way
Gm Dm
down the telegraph road
