Shelter from the Storm Harmonica Tab
Shelter from the Storm Harmonica Tab
4 4 4 4 5 6 6
‘Twas in another lifetime,
-5 -5 -5 -5 4 4
one of toil and blood
7 7 7 7 7 7 6
When blackness was a virtue
5 5 -5 5 -5 5 -5
and the road was full of mud
7 7 7 7 7 7 6 6
I came in from the wilderness,
5 -5 5 -5 5 6
a creature void of form.
6 6 4 4
“Come in,” she said,
5 6 5 -5 5 4 4 4
“I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”
3 4 4 4 5 6 6 6
And if I pass this way again,
-4 -4 -5 4 4
you can rest a*sured
6 7 7 7 7 7 6 6
I’ll always do my best for her,
5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5
on that I give my word
-6 -7 7 7 7 7 7
In a world of steel-eyed death,
-6 -7 -6 6 -6 -5 -6 -5 -6
and men who are fighting to be warm.
6 6 4 4
“Come in,” she said,
5 6 5 -5 5 4 4 4
“I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”
4 4 4 4 4 5 6 6
Not a word was spoke between us,
-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 4 4
there was little risk involved
7 7 7 7 7 6 6
Everything up to that point
5 5 5 -5 5 -5
had been left unresolved.
7 7 7 7 7 7 7
Try imagining a place
5 5 -5 5 -5 5 6
where it’s always safe and warm.
6 6 4 4
“Come in,” she said,
5 6 5 -5 5 4 4 4
“I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”
3 3 4 4 4 5 6 6
I was burned out from exhaustion,
-4 -4 -5 4 4
buried in the hail,
6 7 7 7 7 6
Poisoned in the bushes
5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5
an’ blown out on the trail,
7 7 7 7 7 -6 -7
Hunted like a crocodile,
-6 -5 -6 -5 -6
ravaged in the corn.
6 6 4 4
“Come in,” she said,
5 6 5 -5 5 4 4 4
“I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”
4 4 4 4 5 6
Suddenly I turned around
-5 -5 -5 -5 4 4
and she was standin’ there
7 7 7 7 7 7 6 6
With silver bracelets on her wrists
5 -5 5 -5 5 -5
and flowers in her hair.
7 7 7 7 7 7 7 6 6
She walked up to me so gracefully
5 -5 5 5 -5 6
and took my crown of thorns.
6 6 4 4
“Come in,” she said,
5 6 5 -5 5 4 4 4
“I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”
3 4 4 4 5 6 6
Now there’s a wall between us,
-4 -4 -5 4 4
somethin’ there’s been lost
6 7 7 7 7 7 6
I took too much for granted,
-5 -5 -5 -5 -5
got my signals crossed.
7 7 7 7 7 7 -6 -7
Just to think that it all began
-6 6 -6 -5 -6 -5 -6
on a long-forgotten morn.
6 6 4 4
“Come in,” she said,
5 6 5 -5 5 4 4 4
“I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”
4 4 4 4 4 4 5 6 6
Well, the deputy walks on hard nails
-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 4 4
and the preacher rides a mount
7 7 7 7 7 7 6 6
But nothing really matters much,
5 -5 5 -5 5 -5
it’s doom alone that counts
7 7 7 7 7 7 7 6
And the one-eyed undertaker,
5 -5 5 -5 5 6
he blows a futile horn.
6 6 4 4
“Come in,” she said,
5 6 5 -5 5 4 4 4
“I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”
3 4 4 4 4 5 6 6
I’ve heard newborn babies wailin’
-4 -4 -5 4 4
like a mournin’ dove
6 7 7 7 7 6 6
And old men with broken teeth
-5 -5 -5 -5 -5
stranded without love.
-6 -7 7 7 7 7 7 -6 -7
Do I understand your question, man,
-6 6 -6 -5 -6 -5 -6
is it hopeless and forlorn?
6 6 4 4
“Come in,” she said,
5 6 5 -5 5 4 4 4
“I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”
4 4 4 4 4 5 6 6
In a little hilltop village,
-5 -5 -5 -5 4 4
they gambled for my clothes
7 7 7 7 7 7 6
I bargained for salvation
5 5 -5 -5 5 -5 5 -5
an’ they gave me a lethal dose.
7 7 7 7 7 7 6 6
I offered up my innocence
5 -5 5 -5 5 6
and got repaid with scorn.
6 6 4 4
“Come in,” she said,
5 6 5 -5 5 4 4 4
“I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”
3 3 4 4 4 4 5 5 6 6
Well, I’m livin’ in a foreign country
5 5 -4 -4 -5 4 4
but I’m bound to cross the line
7 7 7 7 7 6 6
Beauty walks a razor’s edge,
-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5
someday I’ll make it mine.
-7 7 7 7 7 7 7 -6 -7
If I could only turn back the clock
-6 6 -6 -5 -6 -5 -6
to when God and her were born.
6 6 4 4
“Come in,” she said,
5 6 5 -5 5 4 4 4
“I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”
