'Gimme Shelter' - The Rolling Stones

On the 20th of December 1969, The Rolling Stones went to No.1 on the UK album chart with their 10th release 'Let It Bleed', featuring 'Midnight Rambler', 'You Can't Always Get What You Want,' and Gimme Shelter.'http://www.thisdayinmusic.com
Listen to 'Gimme Shelter'
"Gimme Shelter" is a song by English rock band, The Rolling Stones. It first appeared as the opening track on the band's 1969 album Let It Bleed. Although the first word was spelled "Gimmie" on that album, subsequent recordings by the band and other musicians have made "Gimme" the customary spelling. They first played "Gimme Shelter" live in 1969 at Pop Go the Sixties. "Gimme Shelter" was placed at #38 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2004.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimme_Shelter

'Yeah, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Lord, I'm gonna fade away

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