Lyrics

“Gimme Shelter”


Come on

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


Ooh, 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 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 yeah


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

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, shot away

It’s just a shot away

It’s just a shot away

It’s just a shot away, shot away, shot away

I tell you love, sister, it’s just a kiss 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

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

Gimme shelter

Gimme shelter

Gimme shelter

Gimme shelter

Gimme shelter

Gimme shelter

Gimme shelter
