Blood On The Tracks (1975)
Shelter From the Storm — аккорды для гитары
[D] [F#m]
'Twas in another life time,
[G] [D]
One of toil and blood.
[D] [F#m]
When blackness was a virtue
[G] [D]
And the road was full of mud.
[D] [F#m]
I came in from the wilderness,
[G] [D]
А creature void of form.
[D] [F#m]
"Come in" she said,"I'll give you,
[G] [D]
Shelter from the storm."
[D] [F#m]
And if I pass this way again,
[G] [D]
You can rest assured,
[D] [F#m]
I'll always do my best for her
[G] [D]
On that I give my word.
[D] [F#m]
In a world of steel eyed death and men
[G] [D]
Who are fighting to be warm,
[D] [F#m]
Come in she said,I'll give you
[G] [D]
Shelter from the storm.
[D] [F#m]
Not a word was spoke between us.
[G] [D]
There was little risk involved.
[D] [F#m]
everything up to that point,
[G] [D]
Had been left unresolved.
[D] [F#m]
Try imagining a place
[G] [D]
Where it's always safe and warm
[D] [F#m]
Come in she said, I'll give you
[G] [D]
Shelter from the storm.
[D] [F#m]
I was burned out from exhaustion
[G] [D]
I was buried in the hail.
[D] [F#m]
Poisoned in the bushes
[G] [D]
An' blown out on the trail
[D] [F#m]
Hunted like a crocodile,
[G] [D]
Ravaged in the corn
[D] [F#m]
Come in she said, I'll give you
[G] [D]
Shelter from the storm
[D] [F#m]
Suddenly I turned around
[G] [D]
And she was standing there
[D] [F#m]
With silver bracelets on her wrists
[G] [D]
And flowers in her hair.
[D] [F#m]
She walked up to me so gracefully
[G] [D]
And took my crown of thorns
[D] [F#m]
Come in she said, I'll give you,
[G] [D]
Shelter from the storm.
[D] [F#m]
Now there's a wall between us
[G] [D]
Something has been lost.
[D] [F#m]
I took too much for granted
[G] [D]
I got my signals crossed
[D] [F#m]
Just to think that all began
[G] [D]
On an uneventfull morn
[D] [F#m]
Come in she said, I'll give you
[G] [D]
Shelter from the storm
[D] [F#m]
Well the deputy walks on hard nails
[G] [D]
And the preacher rides a mount
[D] [F#m]
But nothing really matters
[G] [D]
It's doom alone that counts
[D] [F#m]
And the one-eyed undertaker
[G] [D]
He blows a futile horn
[D] [F#m]
Come in she said, I'll give you
[G] [D]
Shelter from the storm
[D] [F#m]
I've heard newborn babies wailin'
[G] [D]
Like a mornin' dove
[D] [F#m]
And old men with broken teeth
[G] [D]
Stranded without love.
[D] [F#m]
Do I understand your question, man
[G] [D]
Is it hopeless and forlorn.
[D] [F#m]
Come in she said, I'll give you
[G] [D]
Shelter from the storm.
[D] [F#m]
In a little hill top village
[G] [D]
I gambled for my clothes
[D] [F#m]
I bargained for salvation
[G] [D]
And they gave me a leathal dose.
[D] [F#m]
I offered up my innocence
[G] [D]
And got repaid with scorn
[D] [F#m]
Come in she said, I'll give you
[G] [D]
Shelter from the storm
[D] [F#m]
Well I'm livin' in a foreign country
[G] [D]
But I'm bound to cross the line.
[D] [F#m]
Beauty walk a razors edge,
[G] [D]
Someday I'll make it mine.
[D] [F#m]
If I could only turn the clock back
[G] [D]
To when God and her were born
[D] [F#m]
Come in she said,I'll give you
[G] [D]
Shelter from the storm.
