[Intro]
E  A  E

[Verse 1]
E                     A       E
I was a sailor, I was lost at sea
E                             A            E
I was under the waves, before love rescued me
E                        A           E
I was a fighter, I could turn on the threat
    E N.C.
Now I stand accused of the things I've said

[Chorus]
A
Love comes to town, I'm gonna jump that train
     E
When love comes to town
                     A
I'm gonna catch that plane
E
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
      E              N.C.
But I did what I did before love came to town

[Interlude]
E  A  E

[Verse 2]
E                         A          E
Used to make love under a red sunset
E                            A          E
I was making promises I was soon to forget
E                               A       E
She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown
      E    N.C.
But I left her standing before love came to town.

[Verse 3]
E                                    A         E
Ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream
E                                   A        E
The notes were turning blue, I was dazed and in a dream
E                                 A       E
As the music played I saw my life turn around
E    N.C.
That was the day before love came to town

[Chorus]
     A
When love comes to town, I'm gonna jump that train
     E
When love comes to town
                     A
I'm gonna catch that plane
E
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
      E              N.C.
But I did what I did before love came to town

[Solo] (The Edge)

[Chorus]
     A
When love comes to town, I'm gonna jump that train 
     E
When love comes to town
                     A
I'm gonna catch that plane
E
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
      E
But I did what I did before love came to town

[Solo] (B.B. King)

[Verse 4]
E                                  A    E
I was there when they crucified my Lord
E                                             A     E
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
E                                    A    E
I threw the dice as they pierced his side
         E    N.C.
But I've seen love conquer the great divide

[Chorus]
     A
When love comes to town, I'm gonna catch that train
     E
When love comes to town
                     A
I'm gonna catch that plane
E
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
      E              N.C.
But I did what I did before love came to town
