E                A  E                A
  Hey-ey yea-eah      Hey-ey yea-eah
[Verse 1]
E                                   A
  I was a sailor, I was lost at sea

      E                                       A
I was under the waves, before love rescued me

E
  I was a fighter, I could turn on the threat

    E N.C.
Now I stand accused of the things I've said
[Chorus]
     A
When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train

     E
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that plane

E
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down

      E   N.C.
But I did what I did before love came to town
[Interlude] E A E A [Verse 2]
E                                    A
Used to make love under a red sunset

      E                                    A
I was making promises I was soon to forget

        E
She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown

      E    N.C.
But I left her standing before love came to town
[Verse 3]
A
Ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream

    E
The notes were turning blue, I was dazed and in a dream

E
As the music played I saw my life turn around

E    N.C.
That was the day before love came to town
[Chorus]
     A
When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train

     E
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that plane

E
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down

      E   N.C.
But I did what I did before love came to town
[Guitar Solo] E [Chorus]
     A
When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train

     E
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that plane

E
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down

E         N.C.
But I did what I did before love came to town
[Guitar Solo] E A E A E A E A E A E [Verse 4]
E
I was there when they crucified my Lord

E
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword

E
I threw the dice when they pierced his side

         E    N.C.
But I've seen love conquer the great divide
[Chorus]
     A
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that train

     E
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that plane

E
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down

      E   N.C.
But I did what I did before love came to town
[Outro-Guitar Solo] E
