Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

E A E
I was a sailor, I was lost in sea
E A E
I was under the waves, before loves rescued me
E A E
I was a fighter I could turn on threat
E (stop)
Now I stand accused of things I've said.
A A
Love comes to town,I'm gonna jump that train
E A
When love comes to town, 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 2(Bono)
Used to make love under the red sunset,
I was making promises I that were 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(Bono))
Ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream,
The notes were turning blue as days are a dream.
As the music played I saw my life turn around
That was the day before love came to town.
(Chorus(B.B.))
(solo The Edge)
(cb:Chorus(B.B.) over The Edge's solo)
(solo B.B. King)
(Verse 4(B.B.))
I was there when they crucified my lord
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
I threw the dice as they pierced his side,
But I've seen love conquer the great divide.
(Chorus(B.B.))
(The second solo by B.B. King)
'Yeah, Yeah, Yeah..........'
