Genre: rock | Year: 2013

[Intro]
Oooooh
Oooooh
Oooooh
Oooooh
C'mon!

[Verse 1]
Yeah, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Ooh yeah, I'm gonna fade away

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Ooh, see the fire is sweeping
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost your way
[Chorus]
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

[Guitar Solo 1]

[Bridge: Lisa Fischer]
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
Woah!
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
Whoo, yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

[Audience Cheering]

[Verse 3]
Mmm, the floods is threatening
My very life today
Gimme the, gimme the shelter
Or I'm going to fade away
[Chorus]
War, children
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away, shot away, away
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away, shot away, away

[Guitar Solo 2]

[Outro]
I tell you love, sister
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
I tell you love, sister
Don't come this a-way, don't come this a-way
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away, kiss away, kiss away
Yeah
Gimme shelter
Gimme shelter, yeah
Gimme shelter, yeah
Gimme shelter, yeah
Yeah
Gimme shelter
Gimme shelter
Gimme shelter, yeah
[Guitar Solo 3/Outro]
