The Grateful Dead
Shakedown Street - 1978
--------------------------------------
This is quite a wonderful song,
and I can't find it anywhere up for
tab/chords online anywhere else, so,
I'll submit my own. I'm sorry if the
chords seemed off, I tried as hard as
I could with what I could hear,
so if something is off, please correct
me and I'll see if I can fix it.
-------------------------------------
Intro/Riff:
E---0--------------------------------| B------3--1--3--4--3-------1---------| G-----------------------------1---0--| D------------------------------------| A------------------------------------| E------------------------------------| (x4)
After fourth riff:
e------------------------| B------------------------| G------------------------| D--3-2-0-3-2-------------| A------------3-----------| E------------------------| C G7 F If I had the world to give Dm Em Am I'd give it to you - long as you live G Fmaj7 Would you let it fall Bbmaj9 F C or hold it all in your arms? C G7 F If I had a song to sing Dm Em Am I'd sing it to you - as long as you live G Fmaj7 Em F Lullabye - or maybe a plain serenade Em Am Fmaj7 wouldn't you laugh, dance, and cry C F Fsus4 or be afraid at the trade you made? Fmaj7 Bbmaj9 F I may not have the world to give to you Fmaj7 Bbmaj9 F but maybe I have a tune or two Fmaj7 Bbmaj9 F Only if you let me be your world Dm Am C could I ever give this world to you, Dm Am C could I ever give this world to you G F But I will give what love I have to give G F I will give what love I have to give G F I will give what love I have to give Dm C long as I live
(Solo)
C G7 F If I had a star to give Dm Em Am I'd give it to you - long as you live G Fmaj7 Would you have the time Em Am to watch it shine - watch it shine Fmaj7 Dm C or ask for the moon and heaven too? F Fsus4 I'd give it to you. Fmaj7 Bbmaj9 F Maybe I've got no star to spare Fmaj7 Bbmaj9 F or anything fine or even rare Fmaj7 Bbmaj9 F Only if you let me be your world Dm Am C could I ever give this world to you Dm Am C could I ever give this world to you
(Riff then improvised ending)

Well, that's it. It took me a while
to get everything right, so, if you

corrections, please go ahead.
