[Intro]
Fmaj7 G6 Fmaj7 G6

[Verse 1]
N.C.                    Fmaj7      Em
I am a lineman for the county 
                     F/G
and I drive the main road
Am               Em        D          A
Searchin' in the sun for another overload

[Chorus 1]
N.C.                       G                                D        Dm
I hear you singin' in the wire, I can hear you through the whine
                 A         Esus4
And the Wichita Lineman 
                Fmaj7  
is still on the line

G6  Fmaj7  G6

[Verse 2]
N.C.                    Fmaj7     Em  
I know I need a small vacation 
                       F/G
but it don't look like rain
    Am                Em                   D
And if it snows that stretch down south 
                        A
won't ever stand the strain

[Chorus 2]
N.C.                      G                                D        Dm
And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time
                 A         Esus4 
And the Wichita Lineman 
                Fmaj7
is still on the line
