Gimme shelter.
Stones fav,but I like Grand Funks cover too.

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 shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way

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

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

The floods is threat'ning
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 shot away
It's just a shot away
I tell you 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
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away

1. sorry, the Stones' version may be the greatest rock song of all time..
...
it's got everything, including Merry Clayton singing with Mick, and she was about 19 when they cut that song.....

no, no, I'm going to have to insist....nothing else comes close.

4. JINX!
They really tapped into something to get that 'chills' feeling.

3. Yeah, I'm not a stones fan.
But that song gives me chills.

6. when you hear that opening guitar riff......
with the tremolo turned all the way up....you can easily imagine the four horsemen of the apocalypse ... kicking up dust, in the distance but....coming for you....
