Gimme Shelter Lyrics - 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 streets 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, yeah, 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 

Mmm, a 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 

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
