Never woulda hitchhiked to Birmingham

If it hadn't been for love

Never woulda caught the train to Louisianne
F
If it hadn't been for love
Am
Never woulda run through the blindin' rain
F
With out one dollar to my name
F E7 Am
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
[Verse 2]
Am
I never woulda seen the trouble that I'm in
Am
If it hadn't been for love
Am
Woulda 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 wishin' I was free
F E7 Am
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
[Chorus 1]

Four cold walls, against my will

Four cold walls, without parole
C G Dm Am
Lord, have mercy on my soul
