Capo on 2nd fret
[Verse]
[Am]I never would have hitchhiked to Birmingham
If it hadn't been for love
[Am]I never would have caught the train to Louisiana
If it [F]hadn't been for love
[Am]Never would have run through the blinding rain
With[F]Without one dollar to my name
[F]If it hadn't been, if it [E]hadn't been for l[Am]love[(Riff)]ove
[Am]I never would have seen the trouble that I'm in
If it hadn't been for love
[Am]I would have been gone like a wayward wind
If it [F]hadn't been for love
[Am]Nobody knows it better than me
[F]I wouldn't be wishing I was free
F E Am (Walk up to C)
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
[Chorus]
[C]Four cold [G]walls a[Dm]against my [Am]will
At [C]least I [G]know he's [Dm]lying [Am]still
[C]Four cold [G]walls with[Dm]without pa[Am]parole
[C]Lord have m[G]mercy [Dm]on my [Am]soul
[Introriff]
[Verse]
[Am]Never would have gone to that side of town
If it hadn't been for love
[Am]Never would have took a mind to track him down
If it h[F]hadn't been for love.
[Am]I never would have loaded up a .44
[F]Put myself behind a jail house door
If it[F]it hadn't been, if it [E]hadn't been for [Am]love[(Riff)]love.
[Chorus]
[C]Four cold [G]walls a[Dm]against my [Am]will
At [C]least I [G]know he's [Dm]lying [Am]still
[C]Four cold [G]walls with[Dm]without par[Am]parole
[C]Lord have m[G]mercy [Dm]on my [Am]soul
[Verse]
[Am]I never would have hitchhiked to Birmingham
If it hadn't been for love
[Am]I never would have caught the train to Louisiana
If it h[F]hadn't been for love
[Am]I never would have loaded up a .44
[F]Put myself behind a jail house door
If it h[F]hadn't been, if it [E]hadn't been for [Am]love
If it h[F]hadn't been, if it [E]hadn't been for [Am]love
[(slow)]If it h[F]hadn't been, if it [E]hadn't been for [Am]love
