Rodney Crowell – I Walk The Line (Guitar)

G
 I'm back onboard that '49 Ford in 1956,

                             D
Long before the sun came up, way out in the sticks.

    G                                                  Em
The headlights showed a two-run roadway back up in the pines,

G                  D                           G
First time I heard Johnny Cash sing I Walk the Line.

G 
I got my thrill behind the wheel upon my Daddy's lap,

                             D
Grandpa rode co-pilot with a flashlight and a map,

G                                             Em
Cane pole out the window, it was in the summertime.

G                  D                           G
First time I heard Johnny Cash sing I Walk the Line.

         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,

               D                G
Because you're mine, I walk the line.

G
All these long years later its still music to my ears,

                                       D
I swear it sounds as good right now as anything I hear.

     G                                                     Em
I've seen the Mona Lisa, I've heard Shakespeare, read real fine,

G                 D                           G
Just like hearing Johnny Cash sing I walk the line.

           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 I've known proves that its right,

               D                G
Because you're mine, I walk the line.

               D                G
Because you're mine, I walk the line.
