I Walk The Line Revisited

Intro: G

G
I'm back on board that '49 Ford  in 1956
                           D
Long before the sun came up way out in the sticks
G
 The headlights showed a two-rut road
                  C9
Way back up in the pines
G                  D
 First time I heard Johnny Cash
                G
'Sing I Walk the Line'

G
I got my thrill behind the wheel upon my daddies lap
                            D
Grandpa rode co-pilot with a flashlight and a map
G
 Cane pole out the window
                    C9
It was in the summer time
G                  D
 First time I heard Johnny Cash
                G     G7
Sing 'I Walk the Line'

Chorus 1:
        C
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
         G
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
          C
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
              D7
Because you're mine
          G
I walk the line


G
I never will forget that day, I know the time and place
                                      D
Sounded like the whole thing came right down from outer space
G
 I still can see those headlights
                        C9
and that dashboard in my mind
G                  D
 First time I heard Johnny Cash
               G    G7
sing I walk the line

Chorus 2:
         C
I find it very very easy to be true
             G
I find myself alone when each day is through
              C
Yes I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
              D7
Because you're mine
          G
I walk the line


G
All these long years later it's still music to my ears
                                      D
I swear it sounds as good right now as anything I hear
G
 I've seen the Mona Lisa
                                 C9
I've heard Shakespeare read' real fine
G                 D
 Just like hearing Johnny Cash
                G     G7
Sing 'I Walk the Line'

Chorus 3:
          C
As sure as night is dark and day is light
          G
I keep you on my mind both day and night
         C
And happiness that I've known proves that it's right
              D7
Because you're mine
          G
I walk the line
              D7
Because you're mine
          C    D G
I walk the line
