  I am a lineman for the county    and I drive the main road

D5              A5         G5       D5
searchin' in the sun for another overload.

                          A5                           G5
I hear you singing in the wires, I can hear you in the whine

G5                 D5        A5                  Bb5    C5  Bb5
   And the Wichita Lineman       is still on the line.

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

    D5              A5                         G5              D5
And if it snows that stretch down south  won't ever stand the strain.

                         A5                               G5
And I need you more than want you  and I want you for all time.

G5                  D5         A5                    Bb5 ( as before)
   And the Wichita Lineman          is still on the line.
