My thanks go to BB John.

Standard tuning:

Intro:

E, A, E

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

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

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.

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

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

Then BB King plays a solo followed by:

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

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.
