[Intro 1]
[D][D][D][D]

[Verse 1]
'Twas [D]in another [A]lifetime,
[G]one of toil and blo[D]od
When blackness was a [A]virtue
the [G]road was full of mud
[D]I came in from the w[A]ilderness,
a [G]creature void of form
Come [D]in, she said
I'll give [A]ya [G]shelter from the
[D]storm[A][G][D]
[D][A][G][D]

[Verse 2]
And [D]if I pass this way a[A]gain,
[G]you can rest as[D]sured
I'll always do my [A]best for her,
on that [G]I give my word
In a [D]world of steel-eyed [A]death,
and men who are [G]fighting to be warm
Come [D]in, she said
I'll give [A]ya [G]shelter from the
[D]storm[A][G][D][D]

[Verse 3]
Not a [D]word was spoke between [A]us,
there was [G]little risk [D]involved
Everything up to [A]that point
had been [G]left unresolved
[D]Try imagining[A] a place
where it's [G]always safe and warm
Come [D]in, she said
I'll [A]give ya shel[G]ter from the
[D]storm[A][G][D]
[D][A][G][D][D]

[Verse 4]
I [D]was burned out from ex[A]haustion,
[G]buried in the hai[D]l
Poisoned in the [A]bushes
an' blown [G]out on the trail
[D]Hunted like a cro[A]codile,
rav[G]aged in the corn
Come [D]in, she said
I'll [A]give ya [G]shelter from the
[D]storm[A][G][D]
[D][A][G][D]

[Verse 5]
[D]Suddenly I tur[A]ned around
and [G]she was standin' [D]there
With silver bracelets [A]on her wrists
and flow[G]ers in her hair
She [D]walked up to me so [A]gracefully
and [G]took my crown of thorns
Come [D]in, she said
I'll give [A]ya [G]shelter from the
[D]storm[A][G][D]
[D][A][G][D]

[Verse 6]
[D]Now there's a wall between [A]us,
[G]somethin' there's been [D]lost
I took too much for grant[A]ed,
I got [G]my signals crossed
[D]Just to think that it [A]all began
on an un[G]eventfil morn
[D]Come in, she said
I'll [A]give ya [G]shelter from the
[D]storm[A][G][D]
[D][A][G][D]

[Verse 7]
Well, the [D]deputy walks on [A]hard nails
and the [G]preacher rides a [D]mount
But nothing really [A]matters much,
it's [G]doom alone that counts
And the [D]one-eyed under[A]taker,
he [G]blows a futile horn
Come [D]in, she said
I'll give [A]ya shel[G]ter from the
[D]storm[A][G][D]
[D][A][G][D]

[Verse 8]
[D]I've heard newborn [A]babies wailin'
[G]like a mournin' [D]dove
And old men with [A]broken teeth
strand[G]ed without love
Do I [D]understand your [A]question, man,
is it [G]hopeless and forlorn
[D]Come in, she said
[A]I'll give ya [G]shelter from the
[D]storm[A][G][D]
[D][A][G][D]

[Verse 9]
In a [D]little hilltop vil[A]lage,
they [G]gambled for my [D]clothes
I bargained for sal[A]vation and she
[G]gave me a lethal dose
I [D]offered up my in[A]nocence
I [G]got repaid with scorn
Come [D]in, she said
I'll give [A]ya [G]shelter from the
[D]storm[A][G][D]
[D][A][G][D]

[Verse 10]
Well, I'm [D]livin' in a foreign [A]country
but I'm [G]bound to cross the [D]line
Beauty walks a [A]razor's edge,
some[G]day I'll make it mine
If I could [D]only turn [A]back the clock to when
[G]God and her were born
Come [D]in, she said
I'll give [A]ya [G]shelter from the
[D]storm[A][G]
