Wichita Lineman chords
Glen Campbell 1968 (Jim Webb) *
Version by aquamac 19 May 2011
Soz but other versions weren’t quite working for me
Intro
FMaj7/C Gm7/C FMaj7/A Gm7/C
BbM7 F/A
I am a lineman for the county,
Gm7/C
and I drive the main road;
Dm7 Am7 G D
searchin' in the sun for another overload
D C9 C/E
I hear you singin' in the wire,
G/B
I can hear you through the whine
Gm/D D/A A Bb C Bb Gm7/C
And the Wichita Lineman, is still on the line
BbM7 F/A
I know I need a small vacation,
Gm7/C
but it don't look like rain
Dm7 Am7
And if it snows that stretch down south
G D
won't ever stand the strain
D C9 C/E
And I need you more than want you,
G/B
and I want you for all time
Gm/D D/A A Bb C Bb Gm7/C
And the Wichita Lineman, is still on the line
Instrumental verse
BbM7 F/A Gm7/C Dm7 Am7 G D
D C9 C/E
And I need you more than want you,
G/B
and I want you for all time
Gm/D D/A A Bb C Bb C (to fade)
And the Wichita Lineman, is still on the line
Enjoy…
Instead of Bbm7 ... you might try Bbmaj7 ...It gives a nicer sound and I think more accurate. But you're right, you got closest. You need just a couple more tweaks. Nice job.
