When Love Comes to Town By U2 and BB King Verse 1 E A I was a sailor, I was lost at sea E A I was under the waves E A Before love rescued me E A I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread E (Mute) Now I stand accused of the things I've said Chorus A Love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train E E When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame E E Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down (Mute) But I did what I did before love came to town Verse 2 I used to make love under a red sunset I was making promises I was soon to forget She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown But I left her standing before love came to town Verse 3 I ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream The notes were turning blue, I was dazing in a dream As the music played I saw my life turn around That was the day before love came to town [Chorus] Verse 4 I was there when they crucified my Lord I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword I threw the dice when they pierced his side But I've seen love conquer the great divide [Chorus]
