The Rolling Stones
Gimme Shelter (Live / Forest National Arena, Brussels / 17/10/73)
[Verse 1]
Yeah, this storm is threat'ning
My very life today
If I don't get that shelter
Lord, I'm gonna fade away
[Chorus]
War, children
It's just a shot away
War, children
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
Yeah!
[Verse 2]
Yeah, the fire is sweeping
Our very street today
Lord, burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost your way
[Chorus]
War, children
It's just a shot away
War, children
It's just a shot away, a shot away
Yeah!

Yeah, that storm is threat'ning
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Lord, I'm fade away
[Chorus]
War, children
