Note:
I didn't write this tab, but I found it at this site:
http://perso.club-internet.fr/fbiramba/ (we're in the year 2001 now...)
I uploaded this tab, because I've been trying really hard to find it, and I don't want
everyone to have to go through that. I strongly recommend that you visit their site
(they update all the time anyway).
Well here it is, pretty accurate, too! Enjoy!

F Dm
A long time ago came a man on a track
C Bb F
walking thirty miles with a sack on his back
Bb C F C7
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 Am Bb F
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 F/A Gm7 Bb
and they never went further and they never went back
F Dm
then came the churches then came the schools
C Bb F
then came the lawyers then came the rules
Bb Csus4 C F C
then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
Bb Bb Dm
and the dirty old track was the telegraph road

F Dm
Then came the mines - then came the ore
C Bb Bb F
then there was the hard times then there was a war
Bb C F C7
telegraph sang a song about the world outside
Bb Gm7
telegraph road got so deep and so wide
Bb F
like a rolling river. . .
