Version 1 Version 2 Version 3E (022100) B7sus4 (x21200) Asus2 (x02200) [Verse 1] E B7sus4 Asus2 E 'Twas in another lifetime One of toil and blood B7sus4 A When blackness was a virtue The road was full of mud E B7sus4 A I came in from the wilderness A creature void of form E B7sus4 Asus2 E Come in she said I'll give ya Shelter from the storm [Instrumental] B7sus4 Asus2 E E B7sus4 Asus2 E [Verse 2] E B7sus4 Asus2 E And if I pass this way again You can rest assured B7sus4 A I'll always do my best for her On that I give my word E B7sus4 A In a world of steel-eyed death and men Who are fighting to be warm E B7sus4 Asus2 E Come in she said I'll give ya Shelter from the storm [Instrumental] B7sus4 Asus2 E [Verse 3] E B7sus4 Asus2 E Not a word was spoke between us There was little risk involved B7sus4 A Everything up to that point Had been left unresolved E B7sus4 A Try imagining a place Where it's always safe and warm E B7sus4 Asus2 E Come in she said I'll give ya Shelter from the storm [Instrumental] B7sus4 Asus2 E E B7sus4 Asus2 E [Verse 4] E B7sus4 Asus2 E I was burned out from exhaustion Buried in the hail B7sus4 A Poisoned in the bushes And blown out on the trail E B7sus4 A Hunted like a crocodile Ravaged in the corn E B7sus4 Asus2 E Come in she said I'll give ya Shelter from the storm [Instrumental] B7sus4 Asus2 E E B7sus4 Asus2 E [Verse 5] E B7sus4 Asus2 E Suddenly I turned around And she was standing there B7sus4 A With silver bracelets on her wrists And flowers in her hair E B7sus4 A She walked up to me so gracefully And took my crown of thorns E B7sus4 Asus2 E Come in she said I'll give ya Shelter from the storm [Instrumental] B7sus4 Asus2 E E B7sus4 Asus2 E [Verse 6] E B7sus4 Asus2 E Now there's a wall between us somethin' there's been lost B7sus4 A I took too much for granted got my signals crossed E B7sus4 A Just to think that it all began on a long forgotten morn E B7sus4 Asus2 E Come in she said I'll give you shelter from the storm [Instrumental] B7sus4 Asus2 E E B7sus4 Asus2 E [Verse 7] E B7sus4 Asus2 E Well the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount B7sus4 A But nothing really matters much it's doom alone that counts E B7sus4 A And the one-eyed undertaker he blows a futile horn E B7sus4 Asus2 E Come in she said I'll give you shelter from the storm [Instrumental] B7sus4 Asus2 E E B7sus4 Asus2 E [Verse 8] E B7sus4 Asus2 E I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove B7sus4 A And old men with broken teeth stranded without love E B7sus4 A Do I understand your question then is it hopeless and forlorn E B7sus4 Asus2 E Come in she said I'll give you shelter from the storm [Instrumental] B7sus4 Asus2 E E B7sus4 Asus2 E [Verse 9] E B7sus4 Asus2 E In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes B7sus4 A I bargained for salvation and they gave me a lethal dose E B7sus4 A I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn E B7sus4 Asus2 E Come in she said I'll give you shelter from the storm [Instrumental] B7sus4 Asus2 E E B7sus4 Asus2 E [Verse 10] E B7sus4 Asus2 E Well I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line B7sus4 A Beauty walks a razor's edge someday I'll make it mine E B7sus4 A If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born E B7sus4 Asus2 E Come in she said I'll give you shelter from the storm [Instrumental] B7sus4 Asus2 E E B7sus4 Asus2 E
