Capo II *

    6x


Oh, a storm is

 threat'ning 

My very life today 

If I don't get some shelter 

Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away 

            
War, children,


 it's just a s

hot away 

It's just a shot away 
            
War, children,


 it's just a s

hot away 

It's just a shot away 


Ooh, see the f

ire is sweepin

' 

My very street today 

Burns like a red coal carpet 

Mad bull lost its way 

            
War, children,


 it's just a s

hot away 

It's just a shot away 
            
War, children,


 it's just a s

hot away 

It's just a shot away 

  G. . . .

     
Rape, murder! 

It's just a sh

ot away 

It's just a shot away 

     
Rape, murder! 

It's just a sh

ot away 

It's just a shot away


The floods is 

threat'ning 

My very life today 

Gimme, gimme shelter 

Or I'm gonna fade away 

            
War, children,


 it's just a s

hot away 

It's just a shot away 

It's just a sh

ot away 

It's just a sh

ot away 

It's just a sh

ot away 

             
I tell you lov

         
e, sister, it'

s just a kiss 

away 

It's just a kiss away 

It's just a ki

ss away 

It's just a ki

ss away 

It's just a ki

ss away 

Kiss away, kiss away
