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