Rodney Crowell – I Walk The Line Revisited chords

Intro: G

G I'm back on board that '49 Ford  in 1956 
                           DLong before the sun came up way out in the sticks 
G  The headlights showed a two-rut road 
                  C9Way back up in the pines 
G                  D First time I heard Johnny Cash 
                G'Sing I Walk the Line' 

GI got my thrill behind the wheel upon my daddies lap 
                            DGrandpa rode co-pilot with a flashlight and a map 
G  Cane pole out the window 
                    C9It was in the summer time 
G                  D First time I heard Johnny Cash 
                G     G7Sing 'I Walk the Line' 
 
Chorus 1:
        CI keep a close watch on this heart of mine
         GI keep my eyes wide open all the time 
          CI keep the ends out for the tie that binds 
              D7Because you're mine 
          GI walk the line 


GI never will forget that day, I know the time and place
                                      DSounded like the whole thing came right down from outer space
G  I still can see those headlights
                        C9and that dashboard in my mind
G                  D First time I heard Johnny Cash 
               G    G7sing I walk the line

Chorus 2:
         CI find it very very easy to be true
             GI find myself alone when each day is through
              CYes I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
              D7Because you're mine 
          GI walk the line


G All these long years later it's still music to my ears 
                                      DI swear it sounds as good right now as anything I hear 
G  I've seen the Mona Lisa 
                                 C9I've heard Shakespeare read' real fine 
G                 D  Just like hearing Johnny Cash 
                G     G7Sing 'I Walk the Line' 
 
Chorus 3:
          CAs sure as night is dark and day is light 
          GI keep you on my mind both day and night 
         CAnd happiness that I've known proves that it's right 
              D7Because you're mine 
          GI walk the line 
              D7Because you're mine 
          C    D GI walk the line
