If It Hadn’t Been For Love Guitar Chords
The song was originally written for another artist, but Adele eventually decided to keep it for herself. The song features a gospel-influenced piano part and a sparse arrangement that allows Adele’s vocals to take center stage. The song’s closing lines, “Four cold walls against my will, At least I know he’s lying still,” are open to interpretation, with some fans speculating that the narrator is in prison for a crime committed out of love.
If It Hadn’t Been For Love Chords
[Bm] I never would’ve hitchhiked to Birmingham
If it hadn’t been for love
[Bm] I never would’ve caught the train to Louisiana
If it [G] hadn’t been for love
[Bm] Never would’ve run through the blinding rain
[G] Without one dollar to my name
[G] If it hadn’t been, if it
[F#] hadn’t been for [Bm] love
[Bm] I never would’ve seen the trouble that I’m in
If it hadn’t been for love
[Bm] I would have been gone like a wayward wind
If it [G] hadn’t been for love
[Bm] Nobody knows it better than me
[G] I wouldn’t be wishing I was free
F E Am (Walk up to C)
If it hadn’t been, if it hadn’t been for love
[D] Four cold [A] walls [Em] against my [Bm] will
At [D] least I [A] know he’s [Em] lying [Bm] still
[D] Four cold [A] walls [Em] without [Bm] parole
[D] Lord have [A] mercy [Em] on my [Bm] soul
[Bm] Never would have gone to that side of town
If it hadn’t been for love
[Bm] Never would have took a mind to track him down
If it [G] hadn’t been for love.
[Bm] I never would have loaded up a .44
[G] Put myself behind a jail house door
If [G] it hadn’t been, if it
[F#] hadn’t been for [Bm] [(Riff)] love.
[D] Four cold [A] walls [Em] against my [Bm] will
At [D] least I [A] know he’s [Em] lying [Bm] still
[D] Four cold [A] walls [Em] without [Bm] parole
[D] Lord have [A] mercy [Em] on my [Bm] soul
[Bm] I never would have hitchhiked to Birmingham
If it hadn’t been for love
[Bm] I never would’ve caught the train to Louisiana
If it [G] hadn’t been for love
[Bm] I never would have loaded up a .44
[G] Put myself behind a jail house door
If it [G] hadn’t been,
if it [F#] hadn’t been for [Bm] love
If it [G] hadn’t been,
if it [F#] hadn’t been for [Bm] love
[(slow)] If it [G] hadn’t been,
if it [F#] hadn’t been for [Bm] love
