Johnny Cash - If Not for Love: chords

A                    E7             A
A broken man moves slowly down the sidewalk
                E7             A
Humbled by the favors he must seek
       D                              A             F#m
From those that he encounters on his walk through misery
         A              G                  A
Who are rich enough to hurt just as they please
                   E7               A
If not for love I could be one of these

An old man on a park bench stares with envy
At a couple with their children on their knees
While across the park a young man is caught by the police
Stealing for a habit he must feed
And if not for love I could be one of these

Chorus:
   D               E7          A
I could be one of these or so many many more
D                                A
Always at the beck and call of shame
      D             E7                A              F#m
I'm thankful I was called by love to walk among the happy
        D                E7               A
But if not for you love wouldn't know my name

A man of squander talents vainly calls on
His gift of God now straining through his soul
While in the crowd before him a jealous friend awaits
The moments that he can no longer please
And if not for love I could be one of these

Chorus

Yes if not for love I could be one of these
