About Gimme Shelter

Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, "Gimme Shelter" was created from the combined efforts of both the singer and the guitarist. Richards had been working on the song's signature opening in London while Jagger was working on the film Performance. The song takes the form of a churning mid-tempo rocker. It begins with a rhythm guitar intro by Richards, followed by Jagger's lead vocal. On the recording of the album, Jagger said in a 1995 interview with Rolling Stone, "Well, it's a very rough, very violent era. .

Gimme Shelter Lyrics

[00:49.54] Ooh, a storm is threatening
[00:52.94] My very life today
[00:57.01] If I don't get some shelter
[01:01.15] Ooh yeah I'm gonna fade away
[01:05.68] War, children
[01:08.53] It's just a shot away
[01:11.16] It's just a shot away
[01:13.45] War, children
[01:17.19] It's just a shot away
[01:19.22] It's just a shot away
[01:22.24]
[01:30.36] Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
[01:33.97] Our streets today
[01:37.95] Burns like a red coal carpet
[01:41.76] Mad bull lost its way
[01:46.10] War, children
[01:50.07] It's just a shot away
[01:52.13] It's just a shot away
[01:54.00] War, children
[01:57.57] It's just a shot away
[01:59.95] It's just a shot away
[02:05.87]
[02:43.72] Rape, murder, it's just a shot away
[02:48.60] It's just a shot away
[02:50.95] Rape, murder, yeah, it's just a shot away
[02:56.71] It's just a shot away
[02:59.47] Rape, murder, it's just a shot away
[03:05.01] It's just a shot away
[03:08.59]
[03:16.36] Mmm, a flood is threatening
[03:19.38] My very life today
[03:23.29] Gimme, gimme shelter
[03:27.37] Or I'm gonna fade away
[03:31.50] War, children
[03:35.13] It's just a shot away
[03:37.11] It's just a shot away
[03:39.41] It's just a shot away
[03:41.38] It's just a shot away
[03:43.40] It's just a shot away
[03:46.75] I tell you love, sister
[03:51.35] It's just a kiss away
[03:53.35] It's just a kiss away
[03:55.95] It's just a kiss away
[03:57.48] It's just a kiss away
[03:59.52] It's just a kiss away
[04:01.12] Kiss away, kiss away
[04:03.73]
