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