Wichita Lineman     -     Jimmy Webb
 
 
Gm7                      Bbmaj7       F                    Gm7
  I am a lineman for the county       and I drive the main road
 
Dm7              Am7     G       D
searchin' in the sun for another overload.
 
                          Am7                               G
I hear you singing in the wires,      I can hear you in the whine
 
Gm                 D        Am7                  Bb
   And the Wichita Lineman       is still on the line.
 
 
Am7   Bb (hit once and let ring)
 
 
Gm7                     Bbmaj7         F                      Gm7
  I know I need a small vacation,      but it don't look like rain.
 
    Dm7              Am7                  G              D
And if it snows that sounthern load won't ever stand the strain.
 
                         Am7                                    G
And I need you more than want you,       and I want you for all time.
 
Gm                  D         Am7                    Bb
    And the Wichita Lineman          is still on the line.
 
 
Am7     Bb     Gm7     Bb     C     Bc     C      G
 
(I don't recall the last G being on the Glen Campbell recording,
but it makes for a nice closure).
