Bob Dylan Shelter From the Storm This one was pretty easy to figure out. The first tab I posted was messed up but I think I got this one right. Any questions, just email me at [email protected]. The main chord progression is E A E B7 A E Strum an E chord for the intro for 4 measures with 4 beats to each measure. [Verse] E A 'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood E B7 A E When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud A E I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form. "Come in," she said, B7 A E "I'll give you shelter from the storm." (Transfer): E A E A E [Verse] E A E And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured B7 A E I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word A E In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm. "Come in," she said, B7 A E "I'll give you shelter from the storm." E A E [Verse] A E Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved B7 A E Everything up to that point had been left unresolved. A E Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm. "Come in," she said, B7 A E "I'll give you shelter from the storm." E A E A [Verse] E A E I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail, B7 A E Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail, A Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn. "Come in," she said, B7 A E "I'll give you shelter from the storm." E A E A E [Verse] E A E Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there B7 A E With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair. A E She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns. "Come in," she said, B7 A E "I'll give you shelter from the storm." E A E A E [Verse] E A E Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost B7 A E I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed. A E Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn. "Come in," she said, B7 A E "I'll give you shelter from the storm." E A E A E [Verse] E A E Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount B7 A E But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts A And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn. "Come in," she said, B7 A E "I'll give you shelter from the storm." E A E A E [Verse] E A E I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove B7 A E And old men with broken teeth stranded without love. A E Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn? "Come in," she said, B7 A E "I'll give you shelter from the storm." E A E E A E [Verse] E A E In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes B7 A E I bargained for salvation an' they gave me a lethal dose. A I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn. "Come in," she said, B7 A E "I'll give you shelter from the storm." E A E E A E [Verse] E A E Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line B7 A E Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine. A E If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born. "Come in," she said, B7 A E "I'll give you shelter from the storm."
