If It Hadn't Been For Love

Am
Never would have hitchhiked to Birmingham if it hadn't been for love
Am                                                   F
Never would have caught the train to Louisiana if it hadn't been for love
Am                                                 F
Never would have run through the blinding rain without one dollar to my name
      F                  E               Am
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love

Am
Never would have seen the trouble that I'm in if it hadn't been for love
Am                                        F
Would have gone like a wayward wind if it hadn't been for love
Am                              F
Nobody knows it better than me; 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      Am                  C       G          Dm    Am
Four cold walls against my will - At least I know she's lying still
C         G        Am            C         G     Dm    Am Am Am
Four cold walls without parole - Lord have mercy on my soul

Am
Never would have gone to that side of town if it hadn't been for love
Am                                                   F
Never would have took a mind to track her down if it hadn't been for love
Am                                   F
Never would have loaded up a .44 and put myself behind a jail house door
      F                  E               Am
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love

C         G      Am                  C       G          Dm    Am
