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
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
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"
