   I am a lineman for the county     and I drive the main road
Dm7              Am7     G4      G    D
Searchin' in the sun for another overload
                          C9                                    G/B
I hear you singing in the wires,      I can hear you through the whine
Gm/Bb                 D/A        G/A                  Bb7M
   And the Wichita Lineman       is still on the line

   I know I need a small vacation, but it don't look like rain
    Dm7              Am7                  G4       G           D
And if it snows that stretch down south won't ever stand the strain
                         C9                                    G/B
And I need you more than want you,       and I want you for all time
Gm/Bb                  D    G/A                    Bb9
    And the Wichita Lineman    is still on the line
