Bob Dylan – Shelter From The Storm (Guitar)

      E          B         A               E
'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood

     E               B          A
When blackness was a virtue the road was full of mud

E                  B             A
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form

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

       E                B        A           E
And if I pass this way again you can rest assured

     E            B                A
I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word

     E                   B                     A
In a world of steel-eyed death and men who are fighting to be warm

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

      E                B                   A               E
Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved

E                  B                   A
  Everything up to that point had been left unresolved

E          B                       A
  Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm

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

E                       B         A               E
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail

E                 B                A
  Poisoned in the bushes and blown out on the trail

E               B            A
  Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn

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

E            B                 A                E
  Suddenly I turned around and she was standing there

     E                B                 A
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair

    E                  B              A
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns

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

E                    B         A                      E
Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost

E                   B           A
I took too much for granted, I got my signals crossed

E                     B               A
Just to think that it all began on an uneventful morn

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

          E               B                  A                  E
Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount

    E              B                  A
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts

        E             B         A
And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn

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

E                   B              A               E
I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove

    E            B               A
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love

     E               B                    A
Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn

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

     E              B             A              E
In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes

  E                B              A
I bargained for salvation and she gave me a lethal dose

  E             B            A
I offered up my innocence, I got repaid with scorn

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

          E                   B               A                  E
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line

E              B                 A
Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine

           E         B                      A
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born

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