[Em]Never woulda hitchhiked to Birmingham
If it hadn't been for love
Never woulda caught the train to Louisianne
If it [C]hadn't been for love
(Em)Never woulda run through the blindin' rain
With[C]out one dollar to my name
If it[C] hadn't been, if it[Am] hadn't been for [Em]love
[Em]I never woulda seen the trouble that I'm in
If it hadn't been for love
Woulda been gone like a wayward wind
If it [C]hadn't been for love
[Em]Nobody knows it better than me
I [C]wouldn't be wishin' I was free
If it [C]hadn't been, if it [Am])hadn't been for [Em]love
chorus
[G]Four cold [D]walls, [Am7]against my [G]will
At[G]least I [D]know she's [Am7]lyin' [Em]still
[G]Four cold [D]walls, with[Am]out pa[G]role
[G]Lord, have [D]mercy [Am]on my [Em]soul
G D Am G G D Am Em
[Em]Never woulda gone to that side of town
If it hadn't been for love
Never woulda took a mind to track her down
If it [C]hadn't been for love
[Em]Never woulda loaded up a forty four
[C]Put myself behind a jailhouse door
If it [C]hadn't been, if it [Am])hadn't been for [Em]love
If it [C]hadn't been, if it [Am]hadn't been for [Em]love
repeat chorus
[Em]Never woulda hitchhiked to Birmingham
If it hadn't been for love
Never would have caught the train to Louisianne
If it [C]hadn't been for love
[Em]I never woulda loaded up a forty four
[C]Put myself behind a jailhouse door
If it [C]hadn't been, if it [Am]hadn't been for [Em]love
If it [C]hadn't been, if it [Am]hadn't been for [Em]love
G D Am G G D Am Em (repeat about five times and fade)
