Oooh yeah
Yeah
This world was made for the two of us
Can't you see isn't it obvious
And all that we got now
Is the two of us
This world was shaped for the like of us
And here we go
Tumbling down
We fell so hard but we never hit the ground
And here we go
Tumbling down
We fell so hard but we never hit the ground
The ground
Yeah we got God on our side
Were making magic tonight
I'm trynna take you for a ride
Gonna have a wild wild wild night
We're gonna chase all our dream
We're gonna make them believe
As long as you're here with me
Gonna be a hell of a night
Let me hear you say aye oh
We're queens and pharaohs
Got lost in a congo
Ended up in the condo
Let me hear you say aye oh
Fly high like a sparrow
Two lonely sparrows
And here we go
Tumbling down
We fell so hard but we never hit the ground
And here we go
Tumbling down
Oh whoa
Sing
Oh whoa
Say oh
Oh whoa
Hey
Oh whoa
This world was made for the two of us
Can't you see isn't it obvious
And all that we got now
Is the two of us
This world was shaped for the like of us
And here we go
Tumbling down
We fell so hard but we never hit the ground
And here we go
Tumbling down
We fell so hard but we never hit the ground

Merry Clayton's voice crack on the word "murder" at 3:00 might be the best "happy accident" ever recorded. You can hear someone else in the studio react to it with a "Whoo." They knew it was a magical music moment.
@mmoran3
That was Mick yelling in approval as Merrys voice cracked. Afterwards said she would do it again and hit the note, Mick was like.. NO!.. THAT IS PURE GOLD!!!!!!.. It was at night and a pregnant Mary was literally in her hair curlers in the bed when the stones rep contacted her at home to do the song. Mary originally said no she wasn't getting out of her comfy bed. It was Mary's husband that convinced her to go, as it was paying good money. It being late at night and her being tired helped to contribute to one of the best voice cracks ever recorded.
@groovemachine2025
First time I noticed, now I will always look forward for this part
@brianbestel4279
Cheers Mike - great comment!. I think when she cracks the top note, there's an ultra high pitch note which pierces through exactly in tune - but way up to the ceiling. Mick hears it the moment. Diamond stuff.
I love the way she reminisces in this clip. https://youtu.be/ChONufP0FEs

This part always gives me goosebumps and the desire war cry. Badass part.
@Duocity
Most definitely the climax of the song. Every time I listen I wait for that single part.
@lawrencenjawe9875
Gimme shelter has one of the most memorable opening riffs of any tracks in the history of rock. No doubt about it. HAUNTING!!!
