Bob Dylan
Shelter from the Storm (1975)
(Bob Dylan)
From: "Blood on the Tracks"
Alternate version on the "Jerry Maguire" soundtrack
(a 1975 outtake with an extra verse, see below)
I offer two versions here:
2. standard tuning
CHORDS
1. open tuning 2. standard tuning
+ capo 2nd fret
0-0-0-0 -0-0 0-2-2-1-0-0 or: x-x-2-1-0-0
x-4-2-3 -0-0 x-6-4-4-0-0 or: x-x-1-4-0-0
(/) x-2-0-1 -2-0 x-0-2-2-2-0
(/) x-2-0-1 -0-0 x-0-2-2-0-0
This is the basic pattern of the changes in the verse and the instrumental
interludes. Whatever your strumming pattern may be, try to change the
chords where indicated. I tabbed it out for the open tuning here, but the
rhythm is the same if you use the standard tuning, of course.

'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm"
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
And if I pass this way again, you can rest a- ssured
I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word
In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm"
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk in- volved
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm"
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
| | | | | % |
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm"
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm"
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
[EXTRA VERSE - Alternate version from "Jerry Maguire - OST")
Now the bonds are broken but they can be re- tied
One more journey to the woods and the holes where spirits hide
It's a never ending battle for a peace that's always torn
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm"
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost
I took too much for granted, I got my signals crossed
Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm"
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm"
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love
Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn?
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm"
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation an' she gave me a lethal dose
I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm"
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm"
