I Walk The Line chords by Johnny Cash
Guitar chords with lyrics
Sender: "TPLBA" The essence of "I Walk the Line" is in the key changes. The first verse is in F, the second is in Bb, the third is Eb, then it modulates back down to Bb, and finally back down to F. The first verse is sung quite high, because the last verse, which is the same otherwise, is sung down an octave, showcasing that incredible low-low-C at the end of the phrase "because you're mine". If you can sing it like Johnny, you'll knock 'em dead. I use lower case letters for bass notes, to distinguish them from real chords. Between the verses, the guitar plays a three-note bass run to move to the new key. The guitar then vamps on the root chord of the new key, while Johnny gets his bearings by humming the new tonic note, and then starts the verse.
