The Steeldrivers - If It Hadn't Been For Love Chords

If It Hadn't Been For Love by The Steeldrivers


Tuning: Standard

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

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 

CH:
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 

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 

CH:
Four 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
