[Intro}

[E7] [A7] [E7] [E7] [A7] [E7]

[E7] [A7] [E7] [E7] [A7] [E7]

(Oooo- ho- oo- oo-oo)

Verse 1

[E7] [A7] [E7]

I was a sailor, I was lost at sea

[E7] [A7] [E7]

Under the waves before love rescued me

[E7] [A7] [E7]

I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread

[E7] N.C.

Now I stand accused of the things I've said

Chorus

[A7]

When love comes to town - I'm gonna jump that train

[E7]

When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame

[E7]

Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down

[E7] N.C.

But I did what I did before love came to town

Bridge

[E7] [E7] [E7] [E7]

[E7] [E7] [E7] [B7] [E7]

Verse 2

[E7] [A7] [E7]

Used to find love under a red sunset

[E7]

I was making promises I was soon to forget

[E7] [A7] [E7]

I was as pale as the lace on my wedding gown

[E7]

But I left him standing before love came to town

[B] [Bb] [A]

Verse 3

[A7]

I ran into a juke joint when I heard the guitar scream

[E7] [A7] [E7]

The notes were turning blue, I was dazing in a dream

[A7] [A#7] [A7]

As the music played - I saw my life turn around

[E7]

That was the day before love came to town

Chorus

[E7] [A7]

When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train

[E7]

When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame

[E7] [Dm7] [C#m7] [C9]

Well maybe I was wrong to ever let you down

[E7] N.C. [E7] N.C. [E7]

But I did what I did before love came to town

Bridge

Verse 4

N.C. [Em7] [A7] [Cmaj7] N.C.

I was there when they crucified my Lord

N.C. [Em7]

I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword

[Em7]

I threw the dice when they pierced his side

N.C. [E7]

But I've seen love conquer the great divide

Chorus

[A7]

When love comes to town (baby) I'm gonna catch that train

[E7]

When love comes to town (baby) I'm gonna catch that flame

[E7] [Dm7] [C#m7] [C9] [B9] [C9]

Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down

[E7] N.C. [E7]

But I did what I did (baby)- before love came to town
