The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter: chords

C#
Ooh, a storm is threatening my very life today
If I don't get some shelter, oh yeah I'm gonna fade away

C#     B      A                        E A E    A E    A E  B
War, children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
C#     B      A                        E A E    A E    A E  B   C#
War, children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away

Ooh, see the fire is sweepin, our very streets today
Burns like a red coal carpet, mad bull lost its way

C#     B     A                       E A E    A E    A E  B
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

Mmm, the flood is threatening, 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
It's just a shot away, it's just a thought away, it's just a shot away

I said, 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, kiss away, kiss away, yeah
