My thanks go to BB John.
Standard tuning:
[Intro]
E, A, E
[Verse 1]
E A E
I was a sailor, I was lost in sea
E A E
I was under the waves, before love resqued me
E A E
I was a fighter, I could turn on the threat
E
Now I stand accused of 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 flame
E
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
E
But I did what I did before love came to town
E, A, E
[Verse 2]
E A E
Used to make love under the red sunset
E A E
I was making promises that I were soon to forget
E A E
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 E
Ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream
E A E
The notes were turning blue as days are a dream
E A E
As the music played I saw my life turn around
E
That was the day before love came to town
[Chorus]
A
Love comes to town,
I'm gonna jump that train
E
When love comes to town
A
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
Then The Edge plays a solo followed by:
A
Love comes to town,
I'm gonna jump that train
E
When love comes to town
A
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 E
I was there when they crusified 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
But I've seen love conquer the great divide
[Chorus]
A
Love comes to town,
I'm gonna jump that train
E
When love comes to town
A
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
BB plays a second solo and then fade.
