[Verse 1]
E Esus4
'Twas in another lifetime
E Esus4
One of toil and blood
E Esus4
When darkness was a virtue
E Esus4
The road was caked with mud
E Esus4
I came in from the wilderness
E Esus4
A creature void of form
E Esus4
"Come in," she said, "I'll give ya
E Esus4
Shelter from the storm"
E Esus4
E Esus4
[Verse 2]
E G#m
I was burned out from exhaustion
A E
Buried in the hail
E G#m
Poisoned in the bushes
A
And blown out on the trail
E G#m
Try imagining a place
A
Where it's always safe and warm
"Come in," she said, "I'll give ya
E Esus4
Shelter from the storm"
E Esus4
[Verse 3]
E G#m
Suddenly I turned around
A E
And she was standing there
E G#m
With silver bracelets on her wrists
A
And flowers in her hair
She walked up to me so gracefully
B Amaj7/C#
And took my crown of thorns
"Come in," she said, "I'll give ya
B/D# E* Esus2
Shelter from the storm"

Ooooooooooooooooo

Ooooooooooooooo
"Come in," she said, "I'll give ya
B E' F#m11/E
Shelter from the storm"
E' F#m11/E
[Verse 4]
E' F#m11/E
Now there's a wall between us
E'
Something there's been lost
F#m11
I took too much for granted
G#m F#m11
I got my signals crossed
Just to think that it all began
G#m F#m11
On an uneventful morn
G#m
"Come in," she said, "I'll give ya
F#m11 E' F#m11/E
Shelter from the storm"
E' F#m11/E
[Verse 5]
E G#m A
I've heard newborn babies wailing
E
Like a mourning dove
E G#m
And old men with broken teeth
A
Stranded without love
Do I understand your question, then
Amaj7/C#
Is it hopeless and forlorn
"Come in," she said, "I'll give ya
B/D# E Esus4
Shelter from the storm"
E Esus4
E Esus4
E Esus4
[Verse 6]
E* B/D#
And if I pass this way again
Amaj7/C# B/D#
You can rest assured
I'll always do my best for you
Amaj7/C#
On that I give my word
In a world of steel-eyed death and men
Just praying to keep warm
"Come in," she said, "I'll give ya
B/D# E*
Shelter from the storm"
[Ending]
E* B/D#
"Come in," she said, "I'll give ya
Amaj7/C# E' F#m11/E
Shelter from the storm"
E' F#m11/E
E' F#m11
"Come in," she said, "I'll give ya
G#m F#m11 E'
Shelter from the storm"
