C/11 Bb7+
I am a lineman for the county,
F7+/A C/11
And I drive the main road,
Dm7 Am7 G4 G D D4 D
Searching in the sun for a - nother over - load,
C9
I hear you singing in the wires,
G/B Gm/Bb
I can hear you through the whine,
D/A A7/4
And the Wichita lineman...
Bb7+ C2 Bb7+
...Is still on the line----------!
C/11 Bb7+
I know I need a small va - cation,
F7+/A C/11 Dm7
But it don't look like rain, and, if it snows,
Am7 G4 G D D4 D
That stretch down south won't ever stand the strain,
C9
And I need you more than want you,
G/B Gm/Bb
And I want you for all time,
D/A A7/4
And the Wichita lineman...
Bb7+ C2 Bb7+
...Is still on the line----------!
