I've seen a few tabs on this site and none are quite right. The intro tab is dead on
and I'll repeat it here. Play with a capo on the first fret. If you can't sing that
low C then capo up a couple more!
Intro:

E|-----0-2-4---------4-2-0-----0--| etc...
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
A|--------0-
Then walk up to A.... E|--0-2-4--- etc...
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
D|--------0-
Then walk up to D... A|--0-2-4--- etc...
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
D|--0--------
Back down to A... A|----4-2-0-- etc...
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
A|-0--------
And back to E again... E|---4-2-0-- etc...
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
A|-2---2----2---2-----
Then out on.... E|---0----0---0------- fade
