[Intro]
Fmaj7 G
Fmaj7 G                           Fmaj7
       I am a lineman for the county

[Verse 1]
Em                         F/G
  And I drive the main road
Am                  Em
Searching in the sun
       D/F#     A
For another overload
                             G
I hear you singing in the wires

[Verse 2]
                                D/F#
I can hear you through the whine
Dm/F                    A
    And the Wichita lineman
Esus4         E          Fmaj7
     Is still on the line
G Fmaj7 G                        Fmaj7
         I know I need a small vacation

[Verse 3]
Em                           F/G
  But it don't look like rain
    Am
And if it snows
     Em
That stretch down south
D/F#                     A
    Won't ever stand the strain
                         G
And I need you more than want you

[Verse 4]
                           D/F#
And I want you for all time
Dm/F                    A
    And the Wichita lineman
Esus4         E          Fmaj7
     Is still on the line
G Fmaj7 G

[Solo]
Fmaj7 Em F/G Am Em
D/F# A
                         G
And I need you more than want you

[Verse 5]
                           D/F#
And I want you for all time
Dm/F                    A
    And the Wichita lineman
Esus4         E
     Is still on the line

[Outro]
