[Verse 1]
C9sus4 N.C. Bbmaj7
I am a lineman for the county,
Fmaj7/A C9sus4
And I drive the main road,
Dm7 Am7 Gsus4 G D Dsus4 D
Searching in the sun for a - nother over - load,
N.C. Cadd9
I hear you singing in the wires,
G/B Gm/Bb
I can hear you through the whine,
D/A A7sus4
And the Wichita lineman...
Bbmaj7 Csus2 Bbmaj7
...Is still on the line-----------!
[Verse 2]
C9sus4 N.C. Bbmaj7
I know I need a small va - cation,
Fmaj7/A C9sus4 Dm7
But it don't look like rain, and, if it snows,
Am7 Gsus4 G D Dsus4 D
That stretch down south won't ever stand the strain,
N.C. Cadd9
And I need you more than want you,
G/B Gm/Bb
And I want you for all time,
D/A A7sus4
And the Wichita lineman...
Bbmaj7 Csus2 Bbmaj7
...Is still on the line-----------!
