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
      F
If it hadn      \'t been for love
Am
Never would have run through the blinding rain
    F
Without one dollar to my name
F                        E                Am
If it hadn      \'t been, if it hadn      \'t been for love

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
      F
If it hadn      \'t been for love
Am
Nobody knows it better than me
F
I wouldn      \'t be wishing I was free
      F                   E               Am
If it hadn      \'t been, if it hadn      \'t been for love

C         G      Dm        C
Four cold walls against my will
   C       G         Dm    Am
At least I know he      \'s lying still
C         G         Dm    C
Four cold walls without parole
C          G    Dm    Am
Lord have mercy on my soul

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
       F
If it hadn      \'t been for love.
Am
I never would have loaded up a .44
F
Put myself behind a jail house door
     F                   E               Am  (Riff)
If it hadn      \'t been, if it hadn      \'t been for love.

C         G      Dm        Am
Four cold walls against my will
   C       G         Dm    C
At least I know he      \'s lying still
C         G         Dm    Am
Four cold walls without parole
C          G    Dm    C
Lord have mercy on my soul
