Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Either Johnny or his guitarist continues the two-note shuffle while the chords are:

 I keep a close watch on this heart of mine

 I keep my eyes wide open all the time.

 I keep the ends out for the tie that binds

 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 I'm a fool for you

 Because you're mine, I walk the line

 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

 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

 I keep a close watch on this heart of mine

 I keep my eyes wide open all the time.

 I keep the ends out for the tie that binds

 Because you're mine, I walk the line
