(Verse)
(Am)Never woulda hitch hiked to Birmingham, if it hadn't been for love
(Am)Never woulda caught the train to Louisian’, if it (F)hadn't been for love
(Am)Never woulda run through the blindin' rain with-(F)out one dollar to my name
If it (F)hadn't been... if it (E)hadn't been for love (Am)
(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, if it (F)hadn't been for love
(Am)Nobody knows it better than me, (F)I wouldn't be wishing I was free
If it (F)hadn't been... if it (E)hadn't been for love (Am)

(C)Four cold (G)walls a-(Am)gainst my (C)will

(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 (F)her down, if it hadn't been for love
