'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
E B A E
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
A E
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.

"Come in," she said,
B A E
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

(Transfer): E A E A E
E A E
And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
B A E
I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word
A E
In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm.

"Come in," she said,
B A E
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

E A E

A E
Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved
B A E
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved.
A E
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.

"Come in," she said,
B A E
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

E A E A

E A E
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,
B A E
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,
A
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.

"Come in," she said,
B A E
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

E A E A E

E A E
Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there
B A E
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair.
A E
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.

"Come in," she said,
B A E
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

E A E A E

E A E
Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost
B A E
I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed.
A E
Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn.

"Come in," she said,
B A E
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

E A E A E

E A E
Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
B A E
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
A
And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn.

"Come in," she said,
B A E
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

E A E A E

E A E
I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove
B A E
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love.
A E
Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn?

"Come in," she said,
B A E
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

E A E E A E

E A E
In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes
B A E
I bargained for salvation an' they gave me a lethal dose.
A
I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn.

"Come in," she said,
B A E
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

E A E E A E

E A E
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
B7 A E
Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
A E
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born.

"Come in," she said,
B A E
"I'll give you shelter from the storm
