Gimme Shelter (song)

Cover of the Rolling Stones song ... officially released on Some Girls Wander By Mistake.

However, there are many earlier versions on several Live Bootlegs like Echoes Vol. II or Colours In Carnage

Gimme Shelter

Oh, see the storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Yeah, I'm gonna fade away

War, children
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
(repeat)
Yeah

Oh, see the fire is sweeping
Down through the streets today
Burning like a bright red carpet
Another fool who lost the way
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
(repeat)
Yeah

(repeat verse one)

Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
Shot away
Shot away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss awy
War, children
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away
Kiss away
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away
Kiss away

(repeat previous three twice)

(repeat love chorus)

War, children
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away
Kiss away
