[Intro]
E A E A
Hey-ey yea-eah Hey-ey yea-eah
[Verse 1]
E A
I was a sailor, I was lost at sea
E A
I was under the waves, before love rescued me
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 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 A
[Verse 2]
E A
Used to make love under a red sunset
E A
I was making promises I was soon to forget
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]
A
Ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream
E
The notes were turning blue, I was dazed and in a dream
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 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]
E
(8 bars)
[Chorus]
A
When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
E
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that plane

Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down

N.C.
But I did what I did before love came to town
[Solo - B.B. King]
E A E A
E A E A
E A
[Verse 4]
E
I was there when they crucified my Lord
E
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
E
I threw the dice when 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 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 - B.B. King]
