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

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

Never would have took a mind to track him down
C#
If it hadn't been for love

C#
Put myself behind a jail house door
C# C Fm (Riff)
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
[Chorus]
G# D# A#m Fm
Four cold walls against my will

Four cold walls without parole

Lord have mercy on my soul
