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
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
