Shelter From The Storm. Words and Music by Bob Dylan. (If you haven't heard it listen to the live
version on Hard Rain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12rUOLtbQDk
Capo on 1 sounds good but it also great with no capo.
[Interlude]
E E E E
[Verse]
EWas it in another lifetime,A one of toil and blood
Eblacker than the wallBs of virtue anAd the road was fuEll of mud
I came in from the wilderness, Aa creature void of Eform.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give yBouA shelter from theE storm."
[Interlude]

[Verse]
Not a word was spoke between uAs, there was little riEsk involved
Everything up to that Bpoint had beenA left unresolvEed.
Try imagining a place where it's Aalways safe and Ewarm.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give ByouA shelter from theE storm."
[Interlude]

[Verse]
EI was burned out from exhaustion, Aburied in the Ehail,
Poisoned in the Bbushes blAown out on the trEail,
Hunted like a crocodile, Aravaged in the corn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give ByouA shelter from theE storm."
ESuddenly I turned around and Ashe was standin' Ethere
With silver bracelets Bon her wrists andA flowers in her haEir.
She walked up to me so Agracefully and took my crown of thornEs.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give ByouA shelter from theE storm."
[Interlude]
E A E A E
[Verse]
EWell, the deputy walks on hard nails and the Apreacher rides a Emount
But nothing really Bmatters much, it'sA doom alone that counEts
And the one-eyed undertaker, Ahe blows a futile horn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give ByouA shelter from theE storm."
[Interlude]
E A E A E
[Verse]
EIn a little hilltop village, Athey gambled for my Eclothes
I bargained for salBvation an' theyA gave me a lethal doEse.
I offered up my innocence and Agot repaid with scorn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give ByouA shelter from the stoErm."
[Interlude]
E A E E A E
[Verse]
ENow there's a wall between us, Asomethin' there's been Elost
I took too much for Bgranted,A got my signalsE crossed.
Just to think that it all began on a Along-forgotten morEn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give ByouA shelter from theE storm."
[Interlude]
E A E A E
[Verse]
EWell, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm Abound to cross the Eline
Beauty walks a B7razor's edge, Asomeday I'll make it Emine.
If I could only turn back the clock to when AGod and her were Eborn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give ByouA shelter from theE storm
EIn a little hilltop village, Athey gambled for my Eclothes
I bargained for salBvation an' theyA gave me a lethal doEse.
I offered up my innocence and Agot repaid with scorn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give ByouA shelter from the stoErm."
