[Verse]
Am
Never woulda hitch hiked to Birmingham
If it hadn't been for love
Am
Never woulda caught the train to Louisian'
      F
If it hadn't been for love
Am
Never woulda run through the blindin' rain
F
Without one dollar to my name
      Am
If it hadn't been
      E7              Am
If it hadn't been for love
[Verse]
Am
Never woulda seen the trouble that I'm in
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 wishing I was free
      Am
If it hadn't been
      E7                Am       G
If it hadn't been for love
[Chorus]
C         G      Dm         Am       G
Four cold walls against my will
C           G         Dm    Am       G
At least I know she's lying still
C         G       Dm       Am
Four cold walls without paroll
C         G     Dm    Am
Lord have mercy on my soul
[Verse]
Am
Never woulda gone to that side of town
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 jail house door
      Am
If it hadn't been
      E7                Am        G
If it hadn't been for love
[Chorus]
C         G      Dm        Am        G
Four cold walls against my will
C          G          Dm      Am      G
At least I know she's lying still
C         G        Dm       Am
Four cold walls without paroll
C         G     Dm    Am
Lord have mercy on my soul
