D F#m
‘Twas in another life time,
G D
One of toil and blood.
D F#m
When blackness was a virtue
G D
And the road was full of mud.
D F#m
I came in from the wilderness,
G D
А creature void of form.
D F#m
“Come in” she said,”I’ll give you,
G D
Shelter from the storm.”
D F#m
And if I pass this way again,
G D
You can rest assured,
D F#m
I’ll always do my best for her
G D
On that I give my word.
D F#m
In a world of steel eyed death and men
G D
Who are fighting to be warm,
D F#m
Come in she said,I’ll give you
G D
Shelter from the storm.
D F#m
Not a word was spoke between us.
G D
There was little risk involved.
D F#m
everything up to that point,
G D
Had been left unresolved.
D F#m
Try imagining a place
G D
Where it’s always safe and warm
D F#m
Come in she said, I’ll give you
G D
Shelter from the storm.
D F#m
I was burned out from exhaustion
G D
I was buried in the hail.
D F#m
Poisoned in the bushes
G D
An’ blown out on the trail
D F#m
Hunted like a crocodile,
G D
Ravaged in the corn
D F#m
Come in she said, I’ll give you
G D
Shelter from the storm
D F#m
Suddenly I turned around
G D
And she was standing there
D F#m
With silver bracelets on her wrists
G D
And flowers in her hair.
D F#m
She walked up to me so gracefully
G D
And took my crown of thorns
D F#m
Come in she said, I’ll give you,
G D
Shelter from the storm.
D F#m
Now there’s a wall between us
G D
Something has been lost.
D F#m
I took too much for granted
G D
I got my signals crossed
D F#m
Just to think that all began
G D
On an uneventfull morn
D F#m
Come in she said, I’ll give you
G D
Shelter from the storm
D F#m
Well the deputy walks on hard nails
G D
And the preacher rides a mount
D F#m
But nothing really matters
G D
It’s doom alone that counts
D F#m
And the one-eyed undertaker
G D
He blows a futile horn
D F#m
Come in she said, I’ll give you
G D
Shelter from the storm
D F#m
I’ve heard newborn babies wailin’
G D
Like a mornin’ dove
D F#m
And old men with broken teeth
G D
Stranded without love.
D F#m
Do I understand your question, man
G D
Is it hopeless and forlorn.
D F#m
Come in she said, I’ll give you
G D
Shelter from the storm.
D F#m
In a little hill top village
G D
I gambled for my clothes
D F#m
I bargained for salvation
G D
And they gave me a leathal dose.
D F#m
I offered up my innocence
G D
And got repaid with scorn
D F#m
Come in she said, I’ll give you
G D
Shelter from the storm
D F#m
Well I’m livin’ in a foreign country
G D
But I’m bound to cross the line.
D F#m
Beauty walk a razors edge,
G D
Someday I’ll make it mine.
D F#m
If I could only turn the clock back
G D
To when God and her were born
D F#m
Come in she said,I’ll give you
G D
Shelter from the storm.
