Anyone have the chords to Wichita Lineman by Glen Campbell? I am getting close but there are a couple chords that are eluding me and the chords online are incorrect. If so, you can send to email in my profile if you wish. Thanks!

Wichita Lineman, Glenn Campbell

I am a lineman for the [BbM7]county, [F6]And I drive the main [Gm7]road
[Dm]Searchin' in the [Am]sun For an[G]other overload [D]
I hear you singing in the [C]wires. I can hear you thru the [G]whine
[Gm]And the Wichita [D]lineman, [C]Is still on the line [Bb] [Am7] [Bb]

[Gm7]I know I need a small va[BbM7]cation,
[F6]But it don't look like [Gm7]rain
And [D]if it snows that [Am]stretch down south
Will [G]never stand the strain [D]
And I need you more than [C]want you. And I want you for all [G]time
[Gm]And the Wichita [D]lineman, [C]Is still on the line [Bb] [Gm7]
[Bb] [C] [Bb] [C] ...

It never came and I finally looked in spam folder and it wasn't there either. Finally found it in trash folder. Weird how it routed it there. Thanks. And to DonM. If I extract parts from both versions, I'm closer to what sounds right to my ear.
