“Wichita Lineman”
Glen Campbell

Intro: Am7 – Gm7 (x2)

Gm                                     Bb7       Dm7                            Gm7
I am a lineman for the county, and I drive the main road,
Dm                       Am          G                 D
Searchin’ in the sun for another overload.
D                                        C                                                          G
I hear you singin’ in the wire.  I can hear you through the whine,
Gm                        D           C                    Bb7 – Am7 – Bb7 – Gm7
And the Wichita lineman is still on the line…

I know I need a small vacation, but it don’t look like rain.
And if it snows, that stretch down south won’t ever stand the strain.
And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time,
Gm                        D              C                     Bb7 – Gm7 – Bb7 – Gm7
And the Wichita lineman is still on the line.

Instrumental:   Bb7   C    Gm7    Dm – Am – G   D

And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time.
And the Wichita lineman is still on the line.

Outro:   Bb7   C   Gm7   Am7 (x2)
