Lyrics

[Intro]
| Am | - | - | - |

[Verse 1]
Am
Never would've hitchhiked to Birmingham
If it hadn't been for love
Never would've caught the train to Louisiana
      F
If it hadn't been for love
Am
Never would've run through the blindin' rain
       F
Without one dollar to my name
If it hadn't been,
      E                   Am
if it hadn't been for love

[Verse 2]
Am
Never would've seen the trouble that I'm in
If it hadn't been for love
Would've 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
If it hadn't been,
      E                   Am
if it hadn't been for love

[Chorus]
C         G            Am G/B   C
Four cold walls against      my will
           G          Dm   Am
At least I know she's lying  still
G/B C         G            Am G/B      C
    Four cold walls without      parole
          G     Dm   Am
Lord have mercy on my  soul

[Verse 3]
Am
Never would've gone to that side of town
If it hadn't been for love
Never would've took a mind to track her down
      F
If it hadn't been for love
Am
Never would've loaded up a FortyFour
   F
Put myself behind a jailhouse door
If it hadn't been,
      E                   Am G/B
if it hadn't been for love

[Chorus]
C         G            Am G/B   C
Four cold walls against      my will
           G          Dm   Am
At least I know she's lying  still
G/B C         G            Am G/B      C
    Four cold walls without      parole
          G     Dm   Am
Lord have mercy on my  soul

[Verse 4]
Am
Never would've hitchhiked to Birmingham
If it hadn't been for love
Never would've caught the train to Louisiana
      F
If it hadn't been for love
Am
Never would've loaded up a FortyFour
   F
Put myself behind a jailhouse door
If it hadn't been,
      E                   Am
if it hadn't been for love

[Outro]
      F
If it hadn't been,
      E                   Am
if it hadn't been for love
      F
If it hadn't been,
      E                   Am
if it hadn't been for love
