[Verse]
Gm
I never would have hitchhiked to Birmingham
If it hadn't been for love
Gm
I never would have caught the train to Louisiana
D#
If it hadn't been for love
Gm
Never would have run through the blinding rain
D#
Without one dollar to my name
D# D Gm (Riff)
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
Gm
I never would have seen the trouble that I'm in
If it hadn't been for love
Gm
I would have been gone like a wayward wind
D#
If it hadn't been for love
Gm
Nobody knows it better than me
D#
I wouldn't be wishing I was free
D# D Gm (Walk up to C)
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
[Chorus]
A# F Cm Gm
Four cold walls against my will
A# F Cm Gm
At least I know he's lying still
A# F Cm Gm
Four cold walls without parole
A# F Cm Gm
Lord have mercy on my soul

Never would have gone to that side of town
If it hadn't been for love

D#
If it hadn't been for love

D#
Put myself behind a jail house door

If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
[Chorus]
