"Gimme Shelter" lyrics

"Gimme Shelter"
(originally by The Rolling Stones)

Ooh, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Ooh 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 sweepin'
Our very streets today
Burns like a red coat carpet
Mad bull's lost his 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, yeah

Mmm, the flood is threatening
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
It's just a shot away
I tell you 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
Kiss away, kiss away


Writer(s): Keith Richards, Mick Jagger
