Gimme Shelter

Gimme Shelter (Live Version)

October 21, 1995

Ooh, a storm is threatening my very life today
If I don't get any shelter, good Lord, I'll 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, yeah

Ooh, the fire is sweeping our street today
Burn like a red coal carpet, mad bull lost the 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

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, yeah

Ooh, the storm is threatening my very life today
If I don't get me shelter, good Lord, I'll 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
War, children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
Love, sisters, just a kiss away
Whoa let's taste this
Just a kiss away
Love, sisters, just a kiss away
Love, sisters, just a kiss away
Just a kiss away, just a kiss away, just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away
Just a kiss away, just a kiss away, just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away
Just a kiss away, just a kiss away, just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away
