    Here's my first attempt: Wichita Lineman - Jimmy Webb

    I hope it's useful and I'm open to corrections.

    These are the chords I use. I think they are pretty close. It's in F.

    Wichita Lineman - Jimmy Webb

    The C add9 is the basic C shape with pinky on the d note second string. Your pinky holds that note through the walk down and for both the D/A and A7 sus. It's really handy because you can go from G to G minor, because there's no upper third note. That D note on the 2nd string is also the highest note in Bb^7 and C11 chords. It makes the song, and it's the "telegraph note".

    C11 is a straight bar across the third fret skipping the lowest string (I skip the highest string too). The F^7/A is the same shape as an a minor chord.

    Hope the chart works ok for you.

    Cheers, Jim

    This is a complete reharmonization of the tune that Glen Campbell made famous.

    It's to a Latin beat and includes the Intro and the Outro.

    This version is similar to Bobcat's; I just altered some of the chord nomenclature and added a solo tag at the end for this video I was planning. (I just finished it last night; here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWxebqIdckg)
