Wichita Lineman — Jimmy Webb
Gm7 Bbmaj7 F Gm7
I am a lineman for the county and I drive the main road
Dm7 Am7 G D
Searchin’ in the sun for another overload.
Am7 G
I hear you singing in the wires, I can hear you in the whine
Gm D Am7 Bb
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line.
Am7 Bb (hit once and let ring)
Gm7 Bbmaj7 F Gm7
I know I need a small vacation, but it don’t look like rain.
Dm7 Am7 G D
And if it snows that sounthern load won’t ever stand the strain.
Am7 G
And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time.
Gm D Am7 Bb
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line.
Am7 Bb Gm7 Bb C Bc C G
(I don’t recall the last G being on the Glen Campbell recording,
But it makes for a nice closure).
