Telegraph Road Chords by Dire Straits

_ _ _ [F] Well, a long time ago [D] came a man [Dm] on a track
_ [G] Walking thirty miles with [F] a sack on his back
[Bb] And he put down his load [F] where he thought it [C] was the best
[Bb] _
Made a [G] home in the wilderness _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _
Built a cabin [Dm] and a winter store
[C] And he plowed up the ground [Bb] by the Cold Lake shore
The [C] other travelers [F] came walking [C] down the track
[Bb] And they never went further, no, [Gm] they never went back
_ _ [Bb] _ [Am] _
[F] Then came the [Dm] churches, then came the [C] schools
Then came the liars, [Bb] then came the rules
Then came [C] the trains and [F] the trucks with their [Bb] load
And the dirty old track _ was the telegraph [D] road _ _

_ _ _ [F] _ Then came the rain, [Dm] then came the yaw
[C]
Then there was the hard [Bb] times, [F] then there was the war
[Bb] _ [C] Telegraph sang a song [F] about the [C] world outside
[Bb] _ Telegraph road [Gm] got so deep _ and so wide
[Bb] Like [F] a rolling river _
