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

Am                   Em          D               A

searchin' in the sun for another overload.

Em                                                   D

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

Dm                         A              Em                      F        G   F   G

and the Wichita Lineman          is still on the line.

F         Em                                  F

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

Am                       Em                    D                                     A

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

Em                                              D

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

Dm                         A              Em                       F         G   F   G

and the Wichita Lineman           is still on the line.

Em                                              D

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

Dm                         A              Em                       F         G   F   G

and the Wichita Lineman           is still on the line.
