[Verse 1]
G G/B
'Twas in another lifetime,
C/G G
one of toil and blood
G G/B
when Blackness was a virtue
C D
and the road was full of mud
G G/B
I came in from the wilderness,
C D D
a creature void of form
G G/B
Come in, she said, "I'll give you
C G
shelter from the storm
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
G G/B
Not a word was spoke between us,
C G
there was little risk involved
G G/B
Everything up to that point
C D
had been left unresolved
G G/B
Try imagining a place
C D D
where it's always safe and warm
G G/B
Come in, she said, I'll give you
C (G)
shelter from the storm

[Verse 3]
G G/B
The deputy walks on hard nails
C G
and the preacher rides a mount
G G/B
Nothing really matters much,
C D
it's doom alone that counts
G G/B
And the one-eyed undertaker,
C D D
he blows a futile horn
G G/B
Come in, she said, I'll give you
C (G)
shelter from the storm
