And the Wichita Lineman
add / bass +2
Is still on the line
I know I need a small vacation
But it don't look like rain
And if it snows that stretch down south
Will never stand the strain
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman
+A/ bass +2 +2
Is still on the line
Seen a few chord charts for this, but I believe this to be about right with the
correct bass progressions/ chord inversions. See what you think?
