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