(ver. 2)
Bob Dylan
[Chord Progression]
 
E                Emaj7
Esus4           E
                     Emaj7
         Esus4

[Verse 1]
 
E                Emaj7
'Twas in another life time,
Esus4           E
One of toil and blood.
                     Emaj7
When blackness was a virtue
         Esus4
And the road was full of mud.
       E          Emaj7
I came in from the wilderness,
    Esus4
A creature void of form.
      E
"Come in" she said,
      Emaj7
"I'll give you,
Esus4            E
Shelter from the storm."
 
Emaj7  Esus4  E
 
[Verse 2]
 
E                Emaj7
And if I pass this way again,
Esus4           E
You can rest assured,
                     Emaj7
I'll always do my best for her
         Esus4
On that I give my word.
       E          Emaj7
In a world of steel eyed death and men
    Esus4
Who are fighting to be warm,
      E
Come in she said,
      Emaj7
I'll give you
Esus4            E
Shelter from the storm.
 
Emaj7  Esus4  E
 
[Verse 3]
 
E                Emaj7
Not a word was spoke between us.
Esus4           E
There was little risk involved.
                     Emaj7
everything up to that point,
         Esus4
Had been left unresolved.
       E          Emaj7
Try imagining a place
    Esus4
Where it's always safe and warm
      E
Come in she said
      Emaj7
I'll give you
Esus4            E
Shelter from the storm.
 
Emaj7  Esus4  E
 
[Verse 4]
 
E                Emaj7
I was burned out from exhaustion
Esus4           E
I was buried in the hail.
                     Emaj7
Poisoned in the bushes
         Esus4
An' blown out on the trail
       E          Emaj7
Hunted like a crocodile,
    Esus4
Ravaged in the corn
      E
Come in she said
      Emaj7
I'll give you
Esus4            E
Shelter from the storm
 
Emaj7  Esus4  E
 
[Verse 5]
 
E                Emaj7
Suddenly I turned around
Esus4           E
And she was standing there
                     Emaj7
With silver bracelets on her wrists
         Esus4
And flowers in her hair.
       E          Emaj7
She walked up to me so gracefully
    Esus4
And took my crown of thorns
      E
Come in she said
      Emaj7
I'll give you,
Esus4            E
Shelter from the storm.
 
Emaj7  Esus4  E
 
[Verse 6]
 
E                Emaj7
Now there's a wall between us
Esus4           E
Something has been lost.
                     Emaj7
I took too much for granted
         Esus4
I got my signals crossed
       E          Emaj7
Just to think that all began
    Esus4
On an uneventfull morn
      E
Come in she said
      Emaj7
I'll give you
Esus4            E
Shelter from the storm
 
Emaj7  Esus4  E
 
[Verse 7]
 
E                Emaj7
Well the deputy walks on hard nails
Esus4           E
And the preacher rides a mount
                     Emaj7
But nothing really matters
         Esus4
It's doom alone that counts
       E          Emaj7
And the one-eyed undertaker
    Esus4
He blows a futile horn
      E
Come in she said
      Emaj7
I'll give you
Esus4            E
Shelter from the storm
 
Emaj7  Esus4  E
 
[Verse 8]
 
E                Emaj7
I've heard newborn babies wailin'
Esus4           E
Like a mornin' dove
                     Emaj7
And old men with broken teeth
         Esus4
Stranded without love.
       E          Emaj7
Do I understand your question, man
    Esus4
Is it hopeless and forlorn.
      E
Come in she said
      Emaj7
I'll give you
Esus4            E
Shelter from the storm.
 
Emaj7  Esus4  E
 
[Verse 9]
 
E                Emaj7
In a little hill top village
Esus4           E
I gambled for my clothes
                     Emaj7
I bargained for salvation
         Esus4
And they gave me a leathal dose.
       E          Emaj7
I offered up my innocence
    Esus4
And got repaid with scorn
      E
Come in she said
      Emaj7
I'll give you
Esus4            E
Shelter from the storm
 
Emaj7  Esus4  E
 
[Verse 10]
 
E                Emaj7
Well I'm livin' in a foreign country
Esus4           E
But I'm bound to cross the line.
                     Emaj7
Beauty walk a razors edge,
         Esus4
Someday I'll make it mine.
       E          Emaj7
If I could only turn the clock back
    Esus4
To when God and her were born
      E
Come in she said
      Emaj7
I'll give you
Esus4            E
Shelter from the storm.
 
Emaj7  Esus4  E
