Gimme Shelter
 
- Jagger/Richard 1969

Oh a storm is threat'ning 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.

See the fire sweepin' out 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, it's just a shot away.
Rape! Murder! It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away.

The floods is threat'ning my very life today.
Gimme, gimme shelter or I'm gonna fade away.

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

Love, sister, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away.
It's just a kiss away,it's just a kiss away,
It's just a kiss away,it's just a kiss away.
