Intro:
MI

 MI              SI       LA               MI
'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
                     SI            LA          
When blackness was a virtue the road was full of mud
MI                 SI
I came in from the wilderness, 
LA        
creature void of form
     MI
Come in, she said
     SI      LA               MI    SI  LA  MI
I'll give ya shelter from the storm

MI  SI  LA  MI

    MI             SI         LA              MI
And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
                  SI
I'll always do my best for her, 
   LA
on that I give my word
     MI                  SI
In a world of steel-eyed death, 
                LA
and men who are fighting to be warm
     MI    
Come in, she said
     SI      LA               MI    SI  LA  MI
I'll give ya shelter from the storm

      MI                SI
Not a word was spoke between us, 
          LA             MI
there was little risk involved
              SI                     LA
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved
MI        SI
 Try imagining a place 
           LA
where it's always safe and warm
     MI
Come in, she said
     SI      LA               MI   SI  LA  MI
I'll give ya shelter from the storm

MI  SI  LA  MI

                       SI         LA            MI
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail
                SI               LA
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail
MI             SI          LA          
 Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn
MI
Come in, she said
     SI      LA               MI   SI  LA  MI
I'll give ya shelter from the storm

MI  SI  LA  MI

           SI                  LA             MI
Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there
                      SI
With silver bracelets on her wrists 
    LA
and flowers in her hair
    MI                 SI
She walked up to me so gracefully 
    LA         
and took my crown of thorns
     MI
Come in, she said
     SI      LA               MI   SI  LA  MI
I'll give ya shelter from the storm

MI  SI  LA  MI

MI                    SI
Now there's a wall between us, 
LA                     MI
somethin' there's been lost
                    SI
I took too much for granted, 
  LA     
I got my signals crossed
MI                    SI
Just to think that it all began 
      LA
on an uneventful morn
MI
Come in, she said
     SI      LA               MI   SI  LA  MI
I'll give ya shelter from the storm

MI  SI  LA  MI

          MI              SI
Well, the deputy walks on hard nails 
        LA               MI
and the preacher rides a mount
                   SI
But nothing really matters much, 
     LA
it's doom alone that counts
        MI            SI        LA
And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn
     MI
Come in, she said
     SI      LA               MI   SI  LA  MI
I'll give ya shelter from the storm

MI  SI  LA  MI

MI                 SI
I've heard newborn babies wailin' 
LA              MI
like a mournin' dove
                 SI           LA
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love
     MI              SI
Do I understand your question, man, 
      LA
is it hopeless and forlorn
MI
Come in, she said
     SI      LA               MI   SI  LA  MI
I'll give ya shelter from the storm

MI  SI  LA  MI

     MI             SI
In a little hilltop village, 
     LA              MI
they gambled for my clothes
                   SI
I bargained for salvation 
        LA
and she gave me a lethal dose
  MI            SI          LA
I offered up my innocence I got repaid with scorn
     MI
Come in, she said
     SI      LA               MI   SI  LA  MI
I'll give ya shelter from the storm

MI  SI  LA  MI

          MI                  SI
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country 
        LA                 MI
but I'm bound to cross the line
               SI
Beauty walks a razor's edge,
    LA
someday I'll make it mine
           MI        SI
If I could only turn back the clock 
        LA
to when God and her were born
     MI
Come in, she said
     SI      LA               MI   SI  LA
I'll give ya shelter from the storm

MI  SI  LA     MI  SI  LA

MI  SI  LA     MI  SI  LA

MI  SI  LA     MI  SI  LA

MI  SI  LA     MI  SI  LA

Shelter from the Storm è un brano scritto e interpretato da Robert Allen Zimmerman, noto come Bob Dylan, contenuto nell'album Blood on the Tracks pubblicato nel 1975. Quindicesimo lavoro in studio per il cantautore del Minnesota, risente secondo la critica specializzata del periodo critico con la prima moglie Sara Lownds. La canzone è la quarta traccia del lato B e racconta proprio la fine del rapporto sentimentale tra i due; Dylan ha però smentito, dichiarando di essersi ispirato ai racconti di Anton Čechov.
