Am
Never woulda hitchhiked to Birmingham
If it hadn't been for love
Never woulda caught the train to Louisianne
F
If it hadn't been for love
Am
Never woulda run through the blindin' rain
F
With out one dollar to my name
F E7 Am
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
Am
I never woulda seen the trouble that I'm iN
If it hadn't been for love
Am
Woulda been gone like a wayward wind
F
If it hadn't been for love
Am
Nobody knows it better than me
F
I wouldn't be wishin' I was free
F E7 Am
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
[Chorus]
C G Am C
Four cold walls, against my will
C G Dm Am
Atleast I know she's lyin' still
C G Am C
Four cold walls, without parole
C Dm Am
Lord, have mercy on my soul
Am
Never woulda gone to that side of town
If it hadn't been for love
Am
Never woulda took a mind to track her down
F
If it hadn't been for love
Am
Never woulda loaded up a forty four
F
Put myself behind a jailhouse door
F E7 Am
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
F E7 Am
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
[Chorus]
Am
Never woulda hitchhiked to Birmingham
If it hadn't been for love
Am
Never would have caught the train to Louisianne
F
If it hadn't been for love
Am
I never woulda loaded up a forty four
F
Put myself behind a jailhouse door
F E7 Am
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
F E7 Am
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
