[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

[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

Come in, she said, I'll give you
  Am     Am      D       D
shelter from,  Shelter from
         Em             Em
Was in another lifetime,
C                 C
one of toil and blood
Am        Am     D      D
Shelter from, shelter from (the storm)
                      Em      Em
when Blackness was a virtue
         C                C
and the road was full of mud
  Am     Am      D       D
