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--| D------------------------------------| A------------------------------------| E------------------------------------| (x4) After fourth riff: e------------------------| B------------------------| G------------------------| D--3-2-0-3-2-------------| A------------3-----------| E------------------------| C (x32010@1) G7 (320001@1) F (133211@1) If I had the world to give Dm (xx0231@1) Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1) I'd give it to you - long as you live G (320003@1) Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) Would you let it fall Bbmaj9 (x10211@1) F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) or hold it all in your arms?
