I am a lineman for the county 
       Dm             Gm11 
and I drive the main road 
Dm                Am        G         D 
Searchin' in the sun for another overload

I hear you singing in the wire I can hear you through the whine 
                 D           C 
And the Wichita lineman 
                Bb    C    Bb   C

     Dm                   Am                       G              D 
And if it snows that that stretch down south won't ever stand the strain
