Verse 1
D 
A 
D 
It was in another lifetime
G 
D 
One of toil and blood
A 
When blackness was a virtue
D 
G 
D 
And the road was full of mud
A 
D 
I came in from the wilderness
G 
A creature void of form
D 
Come in, she said,
A 
G 
D 
A 
G 
D 
I'll give you shelter from the storm
A 
And if I pass this way again,
G 
you can rest assured
D 
A 
I'll always do my best for her
G 
D 
And that I give my word
A 
A world of death, I'd steal and mend
G 
While fighting to be warm
D 
A 
Come in, she said I'll give you
G 
D 
A 
G 
Shelter from the storm
D 
A 
Not a word was spoke between us,
G 
there was little risk involved
D 
A 
Everything up to that point
G 
D 
had been left unresolved
A 
Try imagine a place
G 
where it's always safe and warm
D 
Come in, she said
A 
G 
I'll give you shelter from
D 
A 
Em 
G 
D 
the storm
A 
I was burned out from exhaustion,
G 
D 
I was buried in the hail
I was poisoned in the bushes
A 
G 
D 
and thrown out on the trail
A 
He's hunted like a crocodile
G 
and ravaged in the corn
D 
A 
Come in, she said, I'll give you shelter
G 
D 
A 
D 
G 
D 
from the storm
A 
Suddenly I turned around
G 
D 
and  she was standing there
A 
Silver bracelets on her wrists
G 
D 
and flowers in her hair
A 
She walked up to me so gracefully
G 
and took my crown of thorns
D 
Come in, she said,
A 
G 
D 
A 
D 
G 
D 
I'll give you shelter from the storm
A 
Now there's a wall between us
G 
D 
Something there's been lost
A 
I took too much for granted
G 
D 
I got my signals crossed
A 
Just to think that it all began
G 
D 
On an uneventful morning
A 
Come in, she said, I'll give you
G 
D 
A 
D 
G 
D 
Shelter from the storm
A 
Well, the deputy walks in hard nails
G 
D 
And  the preacher rides a mount
A 
But nothing really matters  much,
G 
D 
it's doom alone that counts
A 
And the one -eyed undertaker,
G 
he blows his futile horn
D 
Come in, she said,
A 
G 
D 
A 
D 
G 
D 
I'll give you shelter from the storm
A 
I've heard newborn babies
G 
D 
wailing like a morning dove
A 
Old man with broken teeth,
G 
D 
stranded without love
A 
Do I understand your question, man?
G 
Is it hopeless and forlorn?
D 
A 
Come in, she said I'll give you
G 
D 
A 
G 
D 
shelter from the storm
A 
On the little hilltop village,
G 
D 
they gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation,
A 
G 
D 
they gave me a lethal dose
I offered up my innocence
A 
G 
and got repaid with scorn
D 
Come in, she said,
A 
G 
D 
A 
G 
D 
I'll give you shelter from the storm
Well, I'm living in a foreign country
A 
G 
D 
And I'm bound to cross the line
A 
Beauty walks the razor's edge,
G 
D 
someday I'll make it mine
A 
If I could only turn back the clock
G 
to when God and her were born
D 
Come in, she said,
A 
G 
I'll give you shelter from the storm
