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--| ------------| E------------|  (x4) After fourth riff: e------------| B------------| G------------| D--3-2-0-3-2------------| A------------3-----------| E------------| If I had the world to give   I’d give it to you - long as you live   Would you let it fall   or       hold it all in your arms? If I had a song to sing   I’d sing it to you - as long as you live   Lullabye - or maybe a plain serenade   wouldn’t you laugh dance and cry   or be afraid at the trade you made? I may not have the world to give to you but maybe I have a tune or two Only if you let me be your world   could I ever give this world to you   could I ever give this world to you But I will give what love I have to give I will give what love I have to give I will give what love I have to give long as I live (Solo) If I had a star to give I’d give it to you - long as you live Would you have the time   to watch it shine - watch it shine   or ask for the moon and heaven too?   I’d give it to you. Maybe I’ve got no star to spare or anything fine or even rare Only if you let me be your world   could I ever give this world to you   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   have any questions comments or corrections please go ahead.
