If It Hadn't Been For Love by The Steeldrivers
Transcribed by DWdrummer67
Tuning: Standard
[Verse]
Am E (muted back and forth quickly)
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
Am E Am
if it hadn't been... if it hadn't been for love
Am E
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
Am 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 E
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
Am 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
