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
