[Intro]
 
Gm7                      Bbmaj7       Am7                  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 singin' in the wires,      I can hear you through the whine
Gm                 D        Am7                  Bb
   And the Wichita Lineman       is still on the line.

[Hook]
 
Gm7                     Bbmaj7         Am7                    Gm7
  I know I need a small vacation,      but it don't look like rain.
    Dm7              Am7                      G              D
And if it snows that stretch down south 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.

And I need you more than want you,       and I want you for all time.
Gm                  D         Am7                    Bb

The D on the second line comes on the 'load' of 'overload'.

"And I drive the main road" sounds better in Am7 than F. "I hear you singin' in the wires" sounds better in C instead of Am7.
