Verse 1:
E MajorE Esus4Esus4
'Twas in another lifetime
E MajorE Esus4Esus4
One of toil and blood
E MajorE Esus4Esus4
When darkness was a virtue
E MajorE Esus4Esus4
The road was caked with mud
E MajorE Esus4Esus4
I came in from the wilderness
E MajorE Esus4Esus4
A augmentedA creature void of form
E MajorE Esus4Esus4
"Come in," she said, "I'll give ya
E MajorE Esus4Esus4
Shelter from the storm"
E MajorE Esus4Esus4
E MajorE Esus4Esus4
Verse 2:
E MajorE G# minorG#m
I was burned out from exhaustion
A augmentedA E MajorE
Buried in the hail
E MajorE G# minorG#m
Poisoned in the bushes
A augmentedA
And blown out on the trail
E MajorE G# minorG#m
Try imagining a place
A augmentedA
Where it's always safe and warm
"Come in," she said, "I'll give ya
E MajorE Esus4Esus4
Shelter from the storm"
E MajorE Esus4Esus4
Verse 3:
E MajorE G# minorG#m
Suddenly I turned around
A augmentedA E MajorE
And she was standing there
E MajorE G# minorG#m
With silver bracelets on her wrists
A augmentedA
And flowers in her hair
She walked up to me so gracefully
BB Amaj7/C#
And took my crown of thorns
"Come in," she said, "I'll give ya
B/D#B/D# E* Esus2Esus2
Shelter from the storm"
E* Esus2Esus2
E* Esus2Esus2
E* Esus2Esus2

Shelter from the storm"

Verse 4:
E' F#m11/E
Now there's a wall between us
E'
Something there's been lost
F#m11F#m11
I took too much for granted
G# minorG#m F#m11F#m11
I got my signals crossed
Just to think that it all began
G# minorG#m F#m11F#m11
On an uneventful morn
G# minorG#m
"Come in," she said, "I'll give ya
F#m11F#m11 E' F#m11/E
Shelter from the storm"
E' F#m11/E
Verse 5:
E MajorE G# minorG#m A augmentedA
I've heard newborn babies wailing
E MajorE
Like a mourning dove
E MajorE G# minorG#m
And old men with broken teeth
A augmentedA
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#B/D# E MajorE Esus4Esus4
Shelter from the storm"
E MajorE Esus4Esus4
E MajorE Esus4Esus4
E MajorE Esus4Esus4
Verse 6:
E* B/D#B/D#
And if I pass this way again
Amaj7/C# B/D#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#B/D# E*
Shelter from the storm"
