If It Hadnt Been For Love

Am

[Verse 1]
Am
Never woulda hitchhiked to Birmingham
Am
If it hadn't been for love
Am
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]
C         G      Dm          F
Four cold walls, against my will
   C       G          Dm     Am
At least I know she's lyin' still
C         G      Dm      F
Four cold walls, without parole
C          G     Dm    Am
Lord, have mercy on my soul

[Verse 3]
Am
Never woulda gone to that side of town
Am
If it hadn't been for love
Am
Never woulda took a mind to track her down
       F
If it hadn't been for love
Am
Never woulda loaded up a forty four
F
Put myself behind a jailhouse door
       F                 E7              Am
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love

[Chorus 2]
C         G      Dm          F
Four cold walls, against my will
   C       G          Dm     Am
At least I know she's lyin' still
C         G      Dm      F
Four cold walls, without parole
C          G     Dm    Am
Lord, have mercy on my soul
