Song Wichita Lineman
By:  Glen Campbell

[intro:]    |Fmaj7  |Cadd9    |Fmaj7  |C11 {let ring}   { C11  x33333 or Gm/C  x35333 }
 
[verse: 1]
                       Bbmaj7
I am a lineman for the county
Am7                             C11
          And I drive the main road
  Dm7            Am7      Gsus4   G   D     Dsus4 D {let ring}
Searching in the sun for another overload
                           Cadd9                 {x32033}
I hear you singing in the wires              
                           Gadd9/B   Gadd9/Bb    {x20033    x10033}
I can hear you through the whine
                 D/A      A7sus4  A
And the Wichita lineman
                Bbmaj7   Cadd9   Bbmaj7  C11 {let ring}
Is still on the line 

[verse: 2]
                        Bbmaj7
I know I need a small vacation
Am7                             C11  
         But it don't look like rain 
           Dm7        Am7
And if it snows that stretch down south
       Gsus4 G         D    Dsus4 D  {let ring}
won't ever stand the strain
                         Cadd9
And I need you more than want you
                       Gadd9/B   Gadd9/Bb
And I want you for all time
                  D/A       A7sus4  A
And the Wichita lineman
                Bbmaj7   Cadd9   Bbmaj7  C11 {let ring}
Is still on the line 
 
[verse: 3]   {solo: guitar}
                          Bbmaj7
             Am7          C11  
             Dm7          Am7
             Gsus4 G      D    Dsus4 D  {let ring}
                          Cadd9
And I need you more than want you
                       Gadd9/B   Gadd9/Bb
And I want you for all time
                D/A       A7sus4  A
And the Wichita lineman_____
                   Bbmaj7    Cadd9      Bbmaj7   Cadd9
   Is still on the line_______________
