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