Lyrics for "Gimme Shelter"

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

Oh, see the fire is sweepin’
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
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

Oh, the floods is threat’ning
My very life today
If I don't give them shelter
Oh 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

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

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

Love, sister, it’s just a kiss away
It’s just a kiss away
Love, sister, it’s just a kiss away
It’s just a kiss away

War, children, 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

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