If It Hadnt Been For Love

[Am]Nev[E]er woulda hitch hiked to Birmingham... if it hadn't been for love
Never woulda caught the train to Louisian'... if it ha[F]dn'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... if it ha[E]dn't been for l[Am]ove

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 hadn't been for love
Nobody knows it better than me
I wouldn't be wishing I was free
if it hadn't been... if it hadn't been for love

[C][B]
[C]Four cold wa[G]lls ag[Dm]ainst my w[C]ill
[C]at least I kn[G]ow she's l[Dm]ying s[Am]till
[C]Four cold wa[G]lls wi[Dm]thout pa[C]role
[C]Lord have me[G]rcy [Dm]on my s[Am]oul

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 hadn't been for love
Never woulda loaded up a forty four
put myself behind a jail house door
if it hadn't been... if it hadn't been for love

[C]F[B]our cold walls against my will
at least I know she's lying still
Four cold walls without paroll
Lord have mercy on my soul

Never woulda hitch hiked to Birmingham... if it hadn't been for love
Never woulda caught the train to Louisian'... if it hadn't been for love
Never woulda loaded up a forty four
put myself behind a jail house door
if it hadn't been... if it hadn't been for love
if it hadn't been... if it hadn't been for love
if it hadn't been... if it hadn't been for love
