Oh, a storm is threat'ning
F
My very street today
G
If I don't get some shelter
  Dm
I fear I'm gonna fade away

[Chorus]
Dm       F      G
War, children, it's just a shot away

It's just a shot away
Dm       F      G
War, children, it's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

Oh, a storm is threat'ning

I fear I'm gonna fade away

War, children, it's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
F
My very street today

The Mad bull has lost its way

It's just a shot away
