Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 [E] “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm” INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE | E | B | A Aadd9 | E | | E | B | A Aadd9 | E | VERSE 2 E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 E And if I pass this way again, you can rest a- ssured E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 I’ll always do my best for her, on that I give my word E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 [E] “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm” INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE | E | B | A Aadd9 | E | VERSE 3 E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 E Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk in- volved E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 Everything up to that point had been left unresolved E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 Try imagining a place where it’s always safe and warm E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 [E] “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm” INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE | E | B | A Aadd9 | E | | E | B | A Aadd9 | E | % | VERSE 4 E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 E I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 Poisoned in the bushes an’ blown out on the trail E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 [E] “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm” INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE | E | B | A Aadd9 | E | | E | B | A Aadd9 | E | VERSE 5 E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 E Suddenly I turned around and she was standin’ there E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 [E] “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm” INSTRUMENTAL

Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 E Now the bonds are broken but they can be re- tied E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 One more journey to the woods and the holes where spirits hide E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 It’s a never ending battle for a peace that’s always torn E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 [E] “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm” INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE | E | B | A Aadd9 | E | | E | B | A Aadd9 | E | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- VERSE 6 E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 E Now there’s a wall between us, somethin’ there’s been lost E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 I took too much for granted, I got my signals crossed E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 [E] “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

really matters much, it’s doom alone that counts E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 [E] “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm” INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE | E | B | A Aadd9 | E | | E | B | A Aadd9 | E | VERSE 8 E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 E I’ve heard newborn babies wailin’ like a mournin’ dove E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 And old men with broken teeth stranded without love E Bsus4/D# A Aadd9 Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn?
