GIMME SHELTER
(Mick Jagger / Keith Richards)
The Rolling Stones - 1969


Oh, a storm is threatening 
My very life today 
If I don't get some shelter 
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away 

War, children, it's just a shot away 
It's just a shot away 
War, children, it's just a shot away 
It's just a shot away 

Ooh, see the fire is sweeping 
Our very street today 
Burns like a red coal carpet 
Mad bull lost its way 

War, children, it's just a shot away 
It's just a shot away 
War, children, it's just a shot away 
It's just a shot away 

Rape, murder! 
It's just a shot away (2x)

Rape, murder! 
It's just a shot away (2x)

Rape, murder! 
It's just a shot away (2x)

The floods is threatening 
My very life today 
Give, give shelter 
Or I'm gonna fade away 

War, children, it's just a shot away 
It's just a shot away (4x)
I tell you love, sister, it's just a kiss away 
It's just a kiss away (4x)
Kiss away, kiss away
