Wichita Lineman by Glen Campbell
Wichita Lineman
Am Bb Am Gm
Bb Am Bb
I am a lineman for the county,
F Am
and I drive the main road;
Dm Am G D
searchin' in the sun for another overload
D C Am
I hear you singin' in the wire,
G
I can hear you through the whine
Gm D Am Bb C Bb C
And the Wichita Lineman, is still on the line
Gm Bb Am Bb
I know I need a small vacation,
F Am
but it don't look like rain
Dm Am
And if it snows that stretch down south
G D
won't ever stand the strain
D C Am
And I need you more than want you,
G
and I want you for all time
Gm D Am Bb C Bb C
And the Wichita Lineman, is still on the line
Gm Bb Am Bb F Am Dm Am G D
D C Am
And I need you more than want you,
G
and I want you for all time
Gm D Am Bb C Bb C
And the Wichita Lineman, is still on the line . . . . .
