I Walk The Line Chords & Tabs
Since the movie came out I figured some people would hear his music and get
interested so I decided to tab this out for you. This doesn't have the chords
with it but I think this is pretty close to what Johnny Cash plays in his song.
I'm not sure about the part on the 4 fret of the E string and 2 fret of the A
string, let me know if you have a suggestion.
This is NOT the opening, several people have that tabbed really well, this
starts with "I keep a close watch on this heart of mine", check out the into
tabs for the.......intro.
I play this with Capo 1, I think it sounds better, play it open or with a
Capo on fret 1.

Really not to complicated, I would appreciate any suggestions because
playing back through it I dont think I have it quite right.
