Verse:
Am
Never woulda hitch hiked to Birmingham... if it hadn't been for love
                           F
Never woulda caught the train to Louisian'... if it hadn't been for love
Am
Never woulda run through the blindin' rain
F

without one dollar to my name
F              E       Am
if it hadn't been... if it hadn't been for love


Am
Never woulda seen the trouble that i'm in... if it hadn't been for love
                           F
Woulda been gone like a wayward wind... if it hadn't been for love
Am
Nobody knows it better than me
F
I wouldn't be wishing I was free
F              E       Am
if it hadn't been... if it hadn't been for love

Four cold walls against my will

at least I know she's lying still

Lord have mercy on my soul

Never woulda gone to that side of town... if it hadn't been for love
                           F
Never woulda took a mind to track her down... if it hadn't been for love
Am
Never woulda loaded up a forty four
F
put myself behind a jail house door

if it hadn't been... if it hadn't been for love

To save us all from Satan's power

When we were gone astray
