[Verse 1]
'Twas Ein another Blifetime, Aone of toil and Eblood
When Eblackness was a Bvirtue the Aroad was full of mud
EI came in from the Bwilderness, a Acreature void of form
Come Ein, she said, I'll give Bya   Ashelter from the Estorm
|  E   B|  A   E|  E   B|  A   E|
[Verse 2]
And if EI pass this way aBgain you Acan rest assEured
I'll Ealways do my Bbest for her, on Athat I give my word
In a Eworld of steel-eyed Bdeath and men who are Afighting to be warm
Come Ein, she said, I'll give Bya   Ashelter from the Estorm
|  E   B|  A   E|
[Verse 3]
Not a Eword was spoke beBtween us, there was Alittle risk invoElved
  EEverything up to Bthat point had been Aleft unresolved
  ETry imagiBning a place where it's Aalways safe and warm
Come Ein, she said, I'll give Bya   shAelter from the Estorm
|  E   B|  A   E|  E   B|  A   E|
[Verse 4]
EI was burned out from exBhaustion, Aburied in the haEil
  EPoisoned in the Bbushes and blown Aout on the trail
  EHunted like a Bcrocodile, raAvaged in the corn
Come Ein, she said, I'll give Bya   Ashelter from the Estorm
|  E   B|  A   E|  E   B|  A   E|
[Verse 5]
  ESuddenly I Bturned around and Ashe was standing Ethere
With Esilver bracelets Bon her wrists and Aflowers in her hair
She Ewalked up to me so Bgracefully and Atook my crown of thorns
Come Ein, she said, I'll give Bya   Ashelter from the Estorm
|  E   B|  A   E|  E   B|  A   E|
[Verse 6]
ENow there's a wall beBtween us, Asomethin' there's been Elost
EI took too much for Bgranted, I gAot my signals crossed
EJust to think that it Ball began on an Auneventful morn
Come Ein, she said, I'll give Bya   Ashelter from the Estorm
|  E   B|  A   E|  E   B|  A   E|
[Verse 7]
Well, the Edeputy walks on Bhard nails and the Apreacher rides a moEunt
But Enothing really Bmatters much, it's Adoom alone that counts
And the Eone-eyed underBtaker, he Ablows a futile horn
Come Ein, she said, I'll give Bya   Ashelter from the Estorm
|  E   B|  A   E|  E   B|  A   E|
[Verse 8]
EI've heard newborn bBabies wailin' lAike a mournin' dEove
And Eold men with Bbroken teeth strAanded without love
Do I Eunderstand your Bquestion, man, is it Ahopeless and forlorn
Come Ein, she said, I'll Bgive ya   Ashelter from the Estorm
|  E   B|  A   E|  E   B|  A   E|
[Verse 9]
In a Elittle hilltop Bvillage, they Agambled for my Eclothes
I Ebargained for salBvation and she Agave me a lethal dose
I Eoffered up my Binnocence, I Agot repaid with scorn
Come Ein, she said, I'll give Bya    Ashelter from the Estorm
|  E   B|  A   E|  E   B|  A   E|
[Verse 10]
Well, I'm Elivin' in a foreign Bcountry but I'm Abound to cross the Eline
EBeauty walks a Brazor's edge, someAday I'll make it mine
If I could Eonly turn Bback the clock to when AGod and her were born
Come Ein, she said, I'll give Bya    Ashelter from the Estorm

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail

Poisoned in the bushes and blown out on the trail

Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn

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

Suddenly I turned around and she was standing there

With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair

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

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

[Verse 8]

E B A E

I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove

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 E B A E

[Verse 9]

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 E B A E

[Verse 10]

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
