I Walk The Line 2  Johnny Cash



[Key of E] 
I keep a [B7]close watch on this heart of [E]mine
I keep my [B7]eyes wide open all the [E]time
I keep the [A]ends out for the tie that [E]binds
               B7               E    [bass run]  A  (keep playing A)
Because you're mine, I walk the line

[Key of A] 
I find it [E7]very, very easy to be [A]true
I find my[E7]self alone when each day's [A]through
Yes, I'll ad[D]mit that I'm a fool for [A]you
               E7               A    [bass run]  D  (keep playing D)
Because you're mine, I walk the line

[Key of D] 
As sure as [A7]night is dark and day is [D]light
I keep you [A7]on my mind both day and [D]night
And happi[G]ness I've known proves that it's [D]right
               A7               D    [bass run]  A  (keep playing A)
Because you're mine, I walk the line

[Key of A] 
You've got a [E7]way to keep me on your [A]side
You give me [E7]cause for love that I can't [A]hide
For you I [D]know I'd even try to turn the [A]tide
               E7               A    [bass run]  E  (keep playing E)
Because you're mine, I walk the line

[Key of E] 
I keep a [B7]close watch on this heart of [E]mine
I keep my [B7]eyes wide open all the [E]time.
I keep the [A]ends out for the tie that [E]binds
Because you're [B7]mine, I walk the [E]line

After each change in key (at the end of each verse) there's quite a few bars
of the tonic chord before the next verse starts. Like most of Johnny Cash's
songs, this one features a strong alternating bass pattern and uses standard
bass runs when changing keys.

I might do a tab for this song at some point in the future because it's such
a great example of the alternating bass technique and features a number of
simple bass runs which can be used in so many songs. In the meantime, you
can get general information from my lessons which appeared in COWPIE News in
January and February 1998 (Volume 5, Issues ???).

P.S. As of the time that I'm submitting this, I'm unable to download the
old newsletters from early 1998. They come out garbled, possibly due to the
compression. I'm not sure if this is something specific to my system, or a
more general fault that others may also experience. If you have this
problem and would like copies of my lessons, just e-mail me and I'll send
them directly to you.
