'Twas in another

lifetime

One of toil and

virtue The

B
wilderness A
A
creature void of form

And if I pass this

way again
A
You can rest

In a

world of steel-eyed

death and men Who are

Not a word was sp

a place Where it's

Verse 4

E
I was burned out from
B
exhaustion
A
Buried in the

hail
Poisoned in the

bushes And
A
blown out on the trail
E
Hunted like a
B
crocodile
A
Ravaged in the corn

Come in she said

I'll give ya
A
Shelter from the
E
storm

Verse 5

E
Suddenly I
B
turned around And
A
she was standing
E
there
With silver bracelets
B
on her wrists And
A
flowers in her hair
E
She walked up to me so
B
gracefully And
A
took my crown of thorns
E
Come in she said
B
I'll give ya
A
Shelter from the
E
storm

Verse 6

E
Now there's a wall be
B
tween us
A
somethin' there's been
E
lost
I took too much for
B
granted g
A
ot my signals crossed
E
Just to think that it
B
all began on a
A
long forgotten morn

Come in she said I'll
B
give you

shelter from the

storm

Verse 7

E
Well the deputy walks on
B
hard nails and the
A
preacher rides
E
a mount
But nothing really
B
matters much it's d
A
oom alone that counts
E
And the one-eyed
B
undertaker he
A
blows a futile horn
E
Come in she said I'll
B
give you
A
shelter from the
E
storm

Verse 8

E
I've heard newborn
B
babies wailin'
A
like a mournin'
E
dove
And old men with
B
broken teeth
A
stranded without love
E
Do I understand your
B
question then is it
A
hopeless and forlorn
E
Come in she said I'll
B
give you
A
shelter from the
E
storm

Verse 9

E
In a little hilltop
B
village,
A
they gambled for my
E
clothes
I bargained for sal
B
vation and they
A
gave me a lethal dose
E
I offered up my
B
innocence and
A
got repaid with scorn
E
Come in she said I'll
B
give you
A
shelter from the
E
storm

Verse 10

E
Well I'm livin' in a
B
foreign country but I'm
A
bound to cross the
E
line
Beauty walks a
B
razor's edge s
A
omeday I'll make it mine
E
If I could only turn
B
back the clock to when
A
God and her were born
E
Come in she said I'll
B
give you
A
shelter from the
E
storm
