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.

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)
