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
In a world of steel-eyed death and men  Who are fighting to be warm

I was burned out from exhaustion  Buried in the hail
                B            A
Poisoned in the bushes   And blown out on the trail

Hunted like a crocodile    Ravaged in the corn

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

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

Come in she said I'll give ya   Shelter from the storm

Now there's a wall between us  somethin' there's been lost
                    B        A
I took too much for granted got my signals crossed
E                     B              A
Just to think that it all began on a long forgotten morn
E                      B        A                E
Come in she said  I'll give you shelter from the storm

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

Come in she said  I'll give you shelter from the storm

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

Come in she said  I'll give you shelter from the storm

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

Well I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
               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 you shelter from the storm
