                      Bb7M  Am7 
I am a lineman of the county 
                Bb/C 
And I drive the main road 
Dm7              Am      G           D 
Searchin' in the sun for another overload 
                          CM7 
I hear you singin' in the wire 
                           G/B Gm/Bb 
I can hear you through the whine 
                D      A                Bb7M C 
And the Wichita lineman is still on the line 
Bb7M 

C                      Bb7M   Am7 
 I know I need a small vacation 
                       Bb/C 
But it don't look like rain 
    Dm               Am 
And if it snows that stretch down south 
      G              D 
Won't ever stand the strain 
                         C 
And I need you more than want you 
                       G/B Gm/Bb 
And I want you for all time 
                D      A                Bb7M C 
And the Wichita lineman is still on the line 
Bb7M C
