Verse 1
D 
In another lifetime,
G 
D 
one of toil and blood
Blackness was a virtue
G 
and the road was full of mud
D 
I came in from the wilderness,
G 
a creature in a void of form
D 
Come in, she said,
G 
D 
I'll give you shelter from the storm
And if I pass this way again,
G 
you can rest assured
D 
I'll always do my best for her,
G 
all that I give my word
D 
In a world of still -eyed death
G 
and men who are fighting to be woken
D 
And  she said,
G 
D 
I'll give you shelter from the storm
Not a word was spoke between us,
G 
D 
there was little risk involved
Everything up to that point
G 
had been left unresolved
D 
Try imagining a place
G 
where it's always safe and warm
D 
Come in, she said,
G 
D 
I'll give you shelter from the storm
I was burned out from exhaustion
G 
D 
and buried in a hill
Poisoned in the bushes
G 
and blown out on the trail
D 
I was hunted like a crocodile
G 
and ravaged in the corn
D 
Come in, she said,
G 
D 
I'll give you shelter from the storm
Suddenly I turned around
G 
and she was standing there
D 
With silver bracelets on her wrists
G 
and flowers in her hair
D 
She walked up to me so gracefully
G 
and took my crown of thorns
D 
And she said,
G 
D 
I'll give you shelter from the storm
I've heard newborn babies
G 
D 
wailing like a morning dove
And old men with broken teeth
G 
stranded without love
D 
Do I understand your question, man?
G 
Is it helpless and forlorn?
D 
She said, I'll give you shel
G 
D 
ter from the storm
Now I'm living in a foreign country
G 
D 
But I'm bound to cross the line
G 
Beauty walks her razor says, one day I'll
Make it mine
D 
If I could only turn back the clock
G 
To when God and her were born
D 
Come in, she said
G 
D 
I'll give you shelter from the storm
Come in, she said
G 
D 
G 
I'll give you shelter from the storm you
