[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"

E* Esus2
E* Esus2

[Interlude]
E   G#m   A   E
Ooooooooooooooooo
E   G#m   A   E
Oooooooooooooooo
A   B     Amaj7/C#
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

[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"
