Grand Funk Railroad - Gimme Shelter

Track 7 - Gimme Shelter from the 1971 album Survival
They took this cover and made it their own as someone once wrote. True words. Amazing job...

Gimme Shelter Oooo, oooo, oooo.
Oooo, oooo, oooo.


Oooo, a storm is threatenin', my very life today.
If I don't get some shelter, oh, 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.


Oooo, see the fire sweeping, up every street today.
Burns like a red-coal carpet, mad bull lost it's way.


CHORUS


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.


Oooo, a storm is threatenin', my very life today.
If I don't get some shelter, oh, 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 said a 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, kiss away, kiss away.


CHORUS


CHORUS


Love sister, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away.
Love sister, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away.
War children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away.
Love sister, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away.
War children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away.
Love sister, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away.
(repeat alternation to fade)

[garazon]

[TheAmday]

Best cover of all time........

[Lasercrew420]

Their version of this song is soooo much better than that "other" band......GFR the original biker boogie............

[isaacdarling933]

The Stones version better... but i'm predjudiced...

[moondoggie71]

@mitchnbarb

I see, the Stones' 1969 version of 'Gimme Shelter' was a cover version of GFR's 1971 'Gimme Shelter'?

[tonlo92]

when Mark chimes in on the chorus it is in my opinion better then the Stones where all you can hear is the backup singers

[swamiprem]

....this is NOT....about the song......

[skooter72]

You always hear the Stones' version of this on the radio. Grand Funk's version is much better.

[setmenue]

great best version

[hotfudgemoney]

This is poopy compared to KR's magic. It's aight though.

[notfragile33]

how do you get that GNARLY fuzz sound? Is that a fuzz bass and fuzz guitar playing in sync? Whatever it is, I haven't heard anything in rock quite like it! And the drums sound like their hitting 'bean bags'! I LOVE IT!

[TheHausofPain]

@mitchnbarb Stones released it on "Let it Bleed " in 1969. This is a cover.

[creamedrubys]

@Edgardocelectric007 just download it
