I am a lineman for the [BbM7]country
[F6]And I drive the main [Gm7]road
[Dm]Searchin' in the [Am]sun
For an[G]other overload [D]
I hear you singing in the [C]wires
I can hear you thru the [G]whine
[Gm]And the Wichita [D]lineman
[C]Is still on the line [Bb] [Am7] [Bb]

[Gm7]I know I need a small va[BbM7]cation
[F6]But it don't look like [Gm7]rain
And [D]if it snows that [Am]stretch down south
Will [G]never stand the strain [D]
And I need you more than [C]want you
And I want you for all [G]time
[Gm]And the Wichita [D]lineman
[C]Is still on the line [Bb] [Gm7]
[Bb] [C] [Bb] [C] ...
