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