If I Had The World To Give 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 C F Fsus4 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? F Fsus4 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.
