I am a lineman [F] for the county [Em] and I drive the [F] main road
[Am] Searching [Em] in the sun [D] for another overload
[A] I hear you singing [G] in the wire
I can hear you [D] through the wire
[Dm] And the Wichita [A] lineman [E] is still on [F] the line
[Dm] I [F] know I need a small vacation
[Em] But it don't [F] look like rain
