Intro: G

GI'm back on board that '49 Ford in 1956
Long before the sun came upD way out in the sticks
G The headlights showed a two-rut road
Way back up in theC9 pines
G First time I heardD Johnny Cash
'Sing I Walk theG Line'

GI got my thrill behind the wheel upon my daddies lap
Grandpa rode co-pilot with aD flashlight and a map
G Cane pole out the window
It was in the summerC9 time
G First time I heardD Johnny Cash
Sing 'I Walk theG Line'G7
Chorus 1:
I keep aC close watch on this heart of mine
I keep myG eyes wide open all the time
I keep theC ends out for the tie that binds
Because you'reD7 mine
I walk theG line

GI never will forget that day, I know the time and place
Sounded like the whole thing came righDt down from outer space
G I still can see those headlights
and that dashboard in myC9 mind
G First time I heardD Johnny Cash
sing I walk theG lineG7

Chorus 2:
I find itC very very easy to be true
I find myselfG alone when each day is through
Yes I'll admitC that I'm a fool for you
Because you'reD7 mine
I walk theG line

GAll these long years later it's still music to my ears
I swear it sounds as good right now asD anything I hear
G I've seen the Mona Lisa
I've heard Shakespeare read' realC9 fine
G Just like hearingD Johnny Cash
Sing 'I Walk theG Line'G7
Chorus 3:
As sure asC night is dark and day is light
I keep youG on my mind both day and night
And happiCness that I've known proves that it's right
Because you'reD7 mine
I walk theG line
Because you'reD7 mine
I walk theC lineDG
