[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
         But it don't look like rain,
     Dm7                Am7
And, if it snows, that stretch down south...
         Gsus4 G         D      Dsus4 D
...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----------!
