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 

                  Em
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 

                    Em
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

                        Em
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 

                                 Em
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
