FF     E minorEm                 FF

1. I am a lineman for the county     and I drive the main road,

A minorAm          E minorEm     D MajorD        A augmentedA

searchin' in the sun for another overload.

E minorEm                          D MajorD

I hear you singing in the wires, I can hear you through the whine,

DmDm             A augmentedA       E minorEm           FF    G+G  FF  G+G

and the Wichita Lineman     is still on the line.

FF     E minorEm                 FF

2. I know I need a small vacation,    but it don't look like rain,

A minorAm            E minorEm          D MajorD                   A augmentedA

and if it snows that stretch down south   won't ever stand the strain.

E minorEm                       D MajorD

And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time.

DmDm             A augmentedA       E minorEm            FF     G+G  FF  G+G

and the Wichita Lineman      is still on the line.
