[Verse 1]
F Dm
A long time ago came a man on a track
C Bb
walking thirty miles with a sack on his back
Bb C F C
and he put down his load where he thought it was the best
Bb Gm7 Bb
He made a home in the wilderness
F Dm
He built a cabin and a winter store
C Bb
and he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore
Bb C F C
and the other travellers came riding down the track
Bb Gm7 Bb
and they never went further and they never went back
F Dm
Then came the churches then came the schools
C Bb
then came the lawyers then came the rules
Bb C F C
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
Bb (D5)
and the dirty old track was the telegraph road

| D5 | Gm/D | Csus4 | C |

[Verse 2]
F Dm
Then came the mines - then came the ore
C Bb
then there was the hard times then there was a war
Bb C F C
Telegraph sang a song about the world outside
Bb Gm7 Bb
telegraph road got so deep and so wide
