Dual attribution on performer is more than appropriate here, as is dual attribution of the title. Jankowski's instrumental version even now is certainly the best-remembered of the two; but Jones' version, though much less well-known, is one of the few I've found that actually includes a vocal. Officially, this melody has two titles (both shown above in the title area) because only the version named "I Walk With You" actually has lyrics. The lyric and guitar chord transcriptions on this site are the work of The Guitarguy and are intended for private study, research, or educational purposes only. Individual transcriptions are inspired by and and based upon the recorded versions cited, but are not necessarily exact replications of those recorded versions. C#7
