Shelter from the Storm Chords by Bob Dylan

[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ It was in [B] another [E] lifetime, [A] one of [E] toil and blood
When blackness [Abm] was a virtue, [A] the road was full of mud
[E] I came in from the wilderness, [A] a creature void of form
[E] Come in, she [B] said, I'll give you [A]
shelter [E] from the [B] storm
_ [E] _ [A] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [A] _ _
[E] _ _ And if I pass [B] this way again, [A] you can rest [E] assured
_ I'll always [B] do my best for her, on [A] that I give my word
[E] In a world of [B] steel I'd deathen [A] men who are fighting to be warm
[E] Come in, she said, [B] I'll give you [E]
[A] shelter from [E] the storm
[B] _ _ [A] Not [E] _ _ _ _ a word was spoke [B] between us, [A] there was little risk [E] involved
_ _ [B] Everything up to that [A] point had been left unresolved
[E] _ [B] Try imagining a place where [A] it's always safe and warm
[E] Come in, she said, [B] I'll give you [E] [A] shelter from [E] the storm
I _
[A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
[E] _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
was [B] burned out from exhaustion, [A] buried in the [E] hail _
[B] Poisoned in the bushes and [A] blown out on the trail _
[E] Hunted [B] like a crocodile, [A] ravaged in the corn
[E] Come in, she [B] said, I'll give you [A] shelter [E] from the storm
[B] _ [E] _ [A] _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [A] _ [E] Suddenly _ _ _ [Abm] I turned around and [A] she [E] was standing there
With silver [Abm] bracelets on her [A] wrist and flowers in her hair
[E] She walked up to [B] me so gracefully [A] and took my crown of thorns
[E] Come in, she [B] said, I'll give you [A] shelter [E] from the storm
[B] Now [A] _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _
there's a wall [B] between us, [A] something has [E] been lost
I took too much [B] for granted, [A] I got my signals crossed
[E] Just [Abm] between, till it all [A] began on a non-eventful morn
[E] Come in, she said, I'll give you [A] shelter [E] from the storm
[B] _ _ [A] _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ Well, the deputy walks [B] on hard nails [A] and the preacher [E] rides a mount
But [B] nothing really matters [E] much, [A] it's doom alone that counts
[E] And the one-eyed undertaker, [A] he blows a futile horn
[E] Come in, she [B] said, I'll give you [A] shelter [E] from the storm
_ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _
I've heard newborn [B] babies wailing [A] like a [E] mourning dove
And old [B] men with broken [A] teeth, stranded without love
[E] Do I [Abm] understand your question, [A] man?
Is it hopeless and forlorn?
[E] Come in, [Abm] she said, I'll give you [A] shelter [E] from the storm
_ [Abm] In [A] _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _
a little hilltop [B] village, [A] they gambled for my [E] clothes
I bargained for [B] [E] salvation and [A] she gave me a lethal dose
[E] I offered [Abm] up my [A] innocence, I got repaid with scorn
[E] Come in, [Abm] she said, I'll give you [A] shelter [E] from the storm
[B] _ _ [A] _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [Abm] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _
I'm living in [Abm] a foreign country, but [A] I'm bound to cross [E] the line
Beauty walks [Abm] and raises heads, [A] someday I'll make it [E] mine
If I could only [B] turn back [E] the clock to [A] when God and her were born
[E] Come in, she said, [B] I'll give [E] you [A] shelter from [E] the storm
