When Love Comes to Town
By U2 (featuring B.B. King)
[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 A
I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread
E
Now I stand accused of the things I've said
[Chorus]
A E
When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
A
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
E
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
E
But I did what I did before love came to town
[Verse 2]
E A
Used to make love under a red sunset
E A
I was making promises I was soon to forget
E A
She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown
E
But I left her standing before love came to town
[Verse 3]
E A
I ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream
E A
The notes were turning blue, I was dazing in a dream
E A
As the music played I saw my life turn around
E
That was the day before love came to town
[Chorus]
A E
When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
A
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
E
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
E
But I did what I did before love came to town
[Verse 4]
E A
When I woke up I was sleeping on the street
E A
I felt the world was dancing, and I was dirt beneath their feet
E A
When I looked up I saw the Devil looking down
E
But my Lord He played the guitar the day love came to town
[Verse 5]
E A
I was there when they crucified my Lord
E A
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
E A
I threw the dice when they pierced his side
E
But I've seen love conquer the great divide
[Chorus]
A E
When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
A
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
E
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
E
But I did what I did before love came to town
