[Verse 1]
D Asus4
'Twas in another lifetime
G D
One of toil and blood
Asus4
When blackness was a virtue
G
The road was full of mud
D Asus4
I came in from the wilderness
G
A creature void of form
D
"Come in," she said, "I'll give ya
Asus4 G D
Shelter from the storm"
Asus4 G D Asus4
G
[Verse 2]
D D Asus4
And if I pass this way again
G D
You can rest assured
Asus4
I'll always do my best for her
G
On that I give my word
D Asus4
In a world of steeleyed death and men
G
Who are fighting to be warm
D Asus4
"Come in," she said, "I'll give ya
G D
Shelter from the storm"
[Verse 3]
Asus4 G
D D Asus4
Not a word was spoke between us
G D
There was little risk involved
Asus4
Everything up to that point
G
Had been left unresolved
D Asus4
Try imagining a place
G
Where it's always safe and warm
D Asus4
"Come in," she said, "I'll give ya
G D
Shelter from the storm"
Asus4 G D Asus4
G D
[Verse 4]
D Asus4
I was burned out from exhaustion
G
Buried in the hail
D Asus4
Poisoned in the bushes
G
And blown out on the trail
D Asus4
Hunted like a crocodile
G
Ravaged in the corn
D Asus4
"Come in," she said, "I'll give ya
G D
Shelter from the storm"
Asus4 G D Asus4
G D
[Verse 5]
D Asus4
Suddenly I turned around
G D
And she was standing there
Asus4
With silver bracelets on her wrists
G
And flowers in her hair
D Asus4
She walked up to me so gracefully
G
And took my crown of thorns
D Asus4
"Come in," she said, "I'll give ya
G D
Shelter from the storm"
Asus4 G D Asus4
G D
[Verse 6]
D Asus4
Now there's a wall between us
G D
Something there's been lost
Asus4
I took too much for granted
G
I got my signals crossed
D Asus4
Just to think that it all began
G
On an uneventful morn
D Asus4
"Come in," she said, "I'll give ya
G D
Shelter from the storm"
Asus4 G D Asus4
G
[Verse 7]
D D Asus4
Well the deputy walks on hard nails
G D
And the preacher rides a mount
Asus4
But nothing really matters much
G
It's doom alone that counts
D Asus4
And the oneeyed undertaker
G
He blows a futile horn
D Asus4
"Come in," she said, "I'll give ya
G D
Shelter from the storm
Asus4 G D Asus4
G D
[Verse 8]
D Asus4
I've heard newborn babies wailing
G D
Like a mourning dove
Asus4
And old men with broken teeth
G
Stranded without love
D Asus4
Do I understand your question, then
G
Is it hopeless and forlorn
D Asus4
"Come in," she said, "I'll give ya
G D
Shelter from the storm"
Asus4 G D Asus4
G
[Verse 9]
D D Asus4
In a little hilltop village
G D
They gambled for my clothes
Asus4
I bargained for salvation
G
And she gave me a lethal dose
D Asus4
I offered up my innocence
G
And I got repaid with scorn
D Asus4
"Come in," she said, "I'll give ya
G D
Shelter from the storm"
Asus4 G D Asus4
G
[Verse 10]
D D Asus4
Well, I'm living in a foreign country
G D
But I'm bound to cross the line
Asus4
Beauty walks a razor's edge
G
Someday I'll make it mine
D Asus4
If I could only turn back the clock
G
To when God and her were born
D Asus4
"Come in," she said, "I'll give ya
G D Asus4 G
Shelter from the storm"
