[A] [E]
It was in another lifetime, [A] one of toil [E] and blood.
When blackness was a virtue [A] and the road was full [E] of mud,
I came in from the wilderness, [A] a creature born [E] of war.
Come in, she said, I'll [Abm] give you [A] shelter [E] from the storm.
And if I pass this [Abm] way again, [A] you can rest [E] assured,
I'll always do [B] my best for her [A] on that I give my [E] word.
In a world of still [B] life, death, and men,
who [A] are fighting to stay [E] warm, come in, she said,
[Abm] I'll give you [A] shelter [E] from the storm.
[A] Burned out from exhaustion, [D] buried in the [A] hay,
coiled in [Dbm] the bushes, [D] blown out [A] on the tray,
running [E] like a crocodile, [Gbm] ravaged in [A] the corn,
come in, and I [E] will give you [G] [D] shelter from [A] the storm.
[E] Well, the deputy walks on hard nails,
[A] the preacher rides [E] a mount,
but nothing really matters much, [A] it's two lonely [E] gals.
The one-eyed undertaker
[A] blows his [E] futile horn,
come in, she said, I'll give [Abm] you
[A] shelter [E] from the storm.

I've heard newborn babies [B] wailing [A] like a mourning [E] dove,
and old men [B] with their broken teeth [Db] stranded [E] without love.
Now, do I understand your [B] question, man?
[A] It's hopeless [E] and forlorn.
Come in, she [Abm] says, I'll give you [A] shelter from [E] the storm.
[A] To those who top [Db] the list, [D] they'll gamble for [A] your cool,
you'll bargain for [E] salvation, and [D] they'll give you a [E] lethal dose.
[A] You'll offer up [Dbm] your innocence, [D] get repaid [A] with a score,
come in, and I [Dbm] will give [D] you shelter [A] from the storm.
[E] Now, I've lived in a foreign country, [A] but I'm bound across [E] the line.
Beauty walks [Abm] through razor's edge, [A] someday I'll nick [E] it mine.
If I could only turn back the hands of time [A] to when you and God were [E] born.
You know that I would [Abm] give you
[A] shelter from [E] the storm.
Come in, and I will give you
[Dbm] shelter from [Abm] the [E] storm.
