Gimme Shelter lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Ooh yeah, I'm gonna fade away

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Ooh, see the fire is sweeping
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost your way

[Chorus]
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

[Guitar Solo 1]
[Bridge]
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
Rape, murder!
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away

[Audience Cheering]

[Verse 3]
Mmm, the floods is threatening
My very life today
Gimme the, gimme the shelter
Or I'm going to fade away

[Chorus]
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, shot away, away
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away, shot away, away

[Guitar Solo 2]
[Outro]
I tell you love, sister
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
I tell you love, sister
Don't come this a-way, don't come this a-way
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away, kiss away, kiss away
Yeah
Gimme shelter
Gimme shelter, yeah
Gimme shelter, yeah
Gimme shelter, yeah
Yeah
Gimme shelter
Gimme shelter
Gimme shelter, yeah
