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