I WALK THE LINE              Johnny Cash
Intro:  D

         A                            D
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine,
          A                      D
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
           G                         D
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds,
               A               D
Because you're mine I walk the line.


I find it very very easy to be true,
I find myself alone when each day is through.
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you.
Because you're mine, I walk the line.

Transpose: A

As sure as night is dark and day is light,
I keep you on my mind both day and night,
And happiness I've known proves that it's right.
Because you're mine, I walk the line.

Transpose: D

You've got a way to keep me on your side.
You give me cause for love that I can't hide.
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide.
Because you're mine, I walk the line.
