Rodney Crowell & Johnny Cash, I Walk the Line (Revisited) (1998)
Key: :[G] (w: Rodney Crowell, Johnny Cash)
INTRO: [G]
VERSE 1:
I'm
[G] back on board that 49-40, 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
[Em] pines
[G] First time I heard
[D] Johny Cash sing 'I Walk the
[G] Line'
VERSE 2:
I
[G] 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
[Em] time
[G] First time I heard
[D] Johny Cash sing 'I Walk the
[G] Line'
[G7]
CHORUS 2:
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
INSTRUMENTAL: [over CHORUS]
VERSE 3:
[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 writ' real
[Em] fine
[G] Just like hearing
[D] Johnny Cash sing 'I Walk the
[G] Line'
[G7]
CHORUS 2:
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]
