Shelter from the Storm Chords by Bob Dylan

[Start]

[Verse]
E           B                A           E        
■ It was in another lifetime one of toil and blood
                   B            A                   
When blackness was a virtue the road was full of mud
E                               A                      
■ I came in from the wilderness a creature void of form
E               
Come in she said
B             A            E        
I'll give you shelter from the storm
B A E B A E

              B              A            E      
And if I pass this way again you can rest assured
               B               A                     
I'll always do my best for her on that I give my word
E             B                           A                      
In a world of steeleyed death and men who are fighting to be warm
E               
Come in she said
B             A            E   B     A E
I'll give you shelter from the storm ■ ■
                     B          A                     E       
Not a word was spoke between us there was little risk involved
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               
Come in she said
B             A            E        
I'll give you shelter from the storm
B A E B A E

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

                             A       E             
Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there
            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               
Come in she said
B                          E        
I'll give you shelter from the storm
B A E B A E

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

                          A              E            
I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove
            B                 E        A           
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love
E                                  A                         
Do I understand your question then is it hopeless and forlorn
E               
Come in she said
              A            E        
I'll give you shelter from the storm

            B               E                          
In a little hilltop village they gambled for my clothes
                B             A                        
I bargained for salvation and she gave me a lethal dose
E            G#m7 B         A                        
I offered up my   innocence and got repaid with scorn
E               
Come in she said
B         E                         
I'll give you shelter from the storm

[Chorus]
                     B                   A            E             
Well I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
                            A                        
Beauty walks a razor's edge someday I'll make it mine
   E                                A                            
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
E               
Come in she said
B             A            E        
I'll give you shelter from the storm
