Intro:
E, A, E


E (022100@1)                   A (x02220@1)     EI (022100@1)was a sailor, I was lost in sea
E (022100@1)                           A (x02220@1)          EI (022100@1)was under the waves, before love resqued me
E (022100@1)                      A (x02220@1)         EI (022100@1)was a fighter, I could turn on the threat
    ENow (022100@1)I stand accused of things I've said


ALove (x02220@1)comes to town,

I'm gonna jump that train 
     E (022100@1)
When love comes to town
                     A (x02220@1)    
I'm gonna catch that flame 
E (022100@1)  Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
      EBut (022100@1)I did what I did before love came to town

E, A, E

E (022100@1)                         A (x02220@1)        E (022100@1) 
Used to make love under the red sunset
E (022100@1)                               A (x02220@1)        EI (022100@1)was making promises that I were soon to forget
E (022100@1)                             A (x02220@1)     EShe (022100@1)was pale as the lace of her wedding gown
      EBut (022100@1)I left her standing before love came to town.

E (022100@1)                                  A (x02220@1)       ERan (022100@1)into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream
E (022100@1)                                 A (x02220@1)      E (022100@1)            
The notes were turning blue as days are a dream
E (022100@1)                               A (x02220@1)     EAs (022100@1)the music played I saw my life turn around
E (022100@1)     
That was the day before love came to town

ALove (x02220@1)comes to town,

I'm gonna jump that train 
     E (022100@1)
When love comes to town
                     A (x02220@1)    
I'm gonna catch that flame 
E (022100@1)  Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
      EBut (022100@1)I did what I did before love came to town

Then The Edge plays a solo followed by:

ALove (x02220@1)comes to town,

I'm gonna jump that train 
     E (022100@1)
When love comes to town
                     A (x02220@1)    
I'm gonna catch that flame 
E (022100@1)  Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
      EBut (022100@1)I did what I did before love came to town

Then BB King plays a solo followed by:

E (022100@1)                                A (x02220@1)  EI (022100@1)was there when they crusified my lord
E (022100@1)                                           A (x02220@1)   EI (022100@1)held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
E (022100@1)                                  A (x02220@1)  EI (022100@1)threw the dice as they pierced his side
E (022100@1)              
  But I've seen love conquer the great divide

ALove (x02220@1)comes to town,

I'm gonna jump that train 
     E (022100@1)
When love comes to town
                     A (x02220@1)    
I'm gonna catch that flame 
E (022100@1)  Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
      EBut (022100@1)I did what I did before love came to town
