Tuning: Standard
 
 
[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
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C           G    Dm        C
Four cold walls against my will
C            G         Dm    Am
at least I know she's lying still
C           G     Dm      C
Four cold walls without parole
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
                                                      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
F                           E              Am
if it hadn't been... if it hadn't been for love

C           G   Dm      C
Four cold walls against my will
C            G         Dm    Am
at least I know she's lying still
C           G    Dm     C
Four cold walls without parole

Lord have mercy on my soul

Thanks for the kind words. Next time figure it out yourself like I did, and you wouldn't have to ignorantly make rude comments to people trying to help others out.

At least he took the time to do the chords. That's more than you can say.

Hahaha: "Lazy tabbing," said the commentor! You know you can submit your own tabs, right?
