INTRO: [Bb] [C] [Bb] [C]
[Bb](9)
I am a lineman for the county,
[F/A] And I drive the main [Gm]road,
[Dm7]Searchin' in the [Am7]sun for a[G]nother over[D]load.
I hear you singing in the [C]wires,
I can hear you through the [G]whine,[Gm]
And the Witchita [D]Lineman [A7sus] is still on the [Bb]line.[C] [Bb] [C]
[Bb](9)
I know I need a small vacation,
[F/A] But it don't look like [Gm]rain,
And [Dm7]if it snows that [Am7]stretch down south
Won't [G]ever stand the [D]strain.
And I need you more than want [C]you,
And I want you for all [G]time.[Gm]
And the Witchita Lineman [A7sus] is still on the [Bb]line.[C] [Bb] [C]
