Intro: G
[G]I'm back on board that '49 Ford in 1956
Long before the sun came up[D] way out in the sticks
[G] The headlights showed a two-rut road
Way back up in the[C9] pines
[G] First time I heard[D] Johnny Cash
'Sing I Walk the[G] Line'
[G]I got my thrill behind the wheel upon my daddies lap
Grandpa rode co-pilot with a[D] flashlight and a map
[G] Cane pole out the window
It was in the summer[C9] time
[G] First time I heard[D] Johnny Cash
Sing 'I Walk the[G] Line'[G7]
Chorus 1:
I keep a[C] close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my[G] eyes wide open all the time
I keep the[C] ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're[D7] mine
I walk the[G] line
[G]I never will forget that day, I know the time and place
Sounded like the whole thing came righ[D]t down from outer space
[G] I still can see those headlights
and that dashboard in my[C9] mind
[G] First time I heard[D] Johnny Cash
sing I walk the[G] line[G7]
Chorus 2:
I find it[C] very very easy to be true
I find myself[G] alone when each day is through
Yes I'll admit[C] that I'm a fool for you
Because you're[D7] mine
I walk the[G] line
[G]All these long years later it's still music to my ears
I swear it sounds as good right now as[D] anything I hear
[G] I've seen the Mona Lisa
I've heard Shakespeare read' real[C9] fine
[G] Just like hearing[D] Johnny Cash
Sing 'I Walk the[G] Line'[G7]
Chorus 3:
As sure as[C] night is dark and day is light
I keep you[G] on my mind both day and night
And happi[C]ness that I've known proves that it's right
Because you're[D7] mine
I walk the[G] line
Because you're[D7] mine
I walk the[C] line[D][G]
