Johnny Cash – Witchita Lineman (Guitar)

                       Bb(9) 
I am a lineman for the county, 

F/A                      Gm 
    And I drive the main road, 

Dm7              Am7      G          D      
Searchin' in the sun for another overload. 

                          C 
I hear you singing in the wires, 

                           G     Gm 
I can hear you through the whine, 

                 D       A7sus                 Bb   C Bb C  
And the Witchita Lineman       is still on the line. 

                      Bb(9) 
I know I need a small vacation, 

F/A                        Gm 
    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. 

                              C 
And I need you more than want you, 

                       G    Gm 
And I want you for all time. 

                         A7sus                 Bb   C Bb C 
And the Witchita Lineman       is still on the line.
