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

Four cold walls without parole
