Emaj7 Esus4 E
[Verse 1]
E'Twas in another Emaj7life time,
Esus4One of toil and Eblood.
When blackness was a Emaj7virtue
And the rEsus4oad was full of mud.
I came Ein from theEmaj7 wilderness,
A crEsus4eature void of form.
"Come Ein" she said,
"I'll Emaj7give you,
Esus4Shelter from the Estorm."
Emaj7 Esus4 E
[Verse 2]
EAnd if I pass thiEmaj7s way again,
Esus4You can rest assEured,
I'll always do my besEmaj7t for her
On that IEsus4 give my word.
In a woErld of steeEmaj7l eyed death and men
Who Esus4are fighting to be warm,
Come iEn she said,
I'll gEmaj7ive you
Esus4Shelter from the Estorm.
Emaj7 Esus4 E
[Verse 3]
ENot a word was spEmaj7oke between us.
Esus4There was littleE risk involved.
everything up to thatEmaj7 point,
Had been Esus4left unresolved.
Try imaEgining a plEmaj7ace
WherEsus4e it's always safe and warm
Come iEn she said
I'll gEmaj7ive you
Esus4Shelter from the Estorm.
Emaj7 Esus4 E
[Verse 4]
EI was burned out Emaj7from exhaustion
Esus4I was buried in Ethe hail.
Poisoned in the busheEmaj7s
An' blownEsus4 out on the trail
Hunted Elike a crocEmaj7odile,
RavaEsus4ged in the corn
Come iEn she said
I'll gEmaj7ive you
Esus4Shelter from the Estorm
Emaj7 Esus4 E
[Verse 5]
ESuddenly I turnedEmaj7 around
Esus4And she was stanEding there
With silver braceletsEmaj7 on her wrists
And floweEsus4rs in her hair.
She walEked up to mEmaj7e so gracefully
And Esus4took my crown of thorns
Come iEn she said
I'll gEmaj7ive you,
Esus4Shelter from the Estorm.
Emaj7 Esus4 E
[Verse 6]
ENow there's a walEmaj7l between us
Esus4Something has beEen lost.
I took too much for gEmaj7ranted
I got my Esus4signals crossed
Just toE think thatEmaj7 all began
On aEsus4n uneventfull morn
Come iEn she said
I'll gEmaj7ive you
Esus4Shelter from the Estorm
Emaj7 Esus4 E
[Verse 7]
EWell the deputy wEmaj7alks on hard nails
Esus4And the preacherE rides a mount
But nothing really maEmaj7tters
It's doomEsus4 alone that counts
And theE one-eyed uEmaj7ndertaker
He bEsus4lows a futile horn
Come iEn she said
I'll gEmaj7ive you
Esus4Shelter from the Estorm
Emaj7 Esus4 E
[Verse 8]
EI've heard newborEmaj7n babies wailin'
Esus4Like a mornin' dEove
And old men with brokEmaj7en teeth
Stranded Esus4without love.
Do I unEderstand yoEmaj7ur question, man
Is iEsus4t hopeless and forlorn.
Come iEn she said
I'll gEmaj7ive you
Esus4Shelter from the Estorm.
Emaj7 Esus4 E
[Verse 9]
EIn a little hill Emaj7top village
Esus4I gambled for myE clothes
I bargained for salvaEmaj7tion
And they Esus4gave me a leathal dose.
I offerEed up my inEmaj7nocence
And Esus4got repaid with scorn
Come iEn she said
I'll gEmaj7ive you
Esus4Shelter from the Estorm
Emaj7 Esus4 E
[Verse 10]
EWell I'm livin' iEmaj7n a foreign country
Esus4But I'm bound toE cross the line.
Beauty walk a razors Emaj7edge,
Someday IEsus4'll make it mine.
If I coEuld only tuEmaj7rn the clock back
To wEsus4hen God and her were born
Come iEn she said
I'll gEmaj7ive you
Esus4Shelter from the Estorm.
