Shakedown Street
The Grateful Dead
D5 Flourish (x2)
Dm C/D Dm Dm C/D Dm (x4) (A)
G C/G F C9
You tell me this town ain't got no heart
Dm C/D Dm Dm C/D Dm
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
The sunny side of the street is dark
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
(E) Fmaj7
Maybe that's cause it's midnight
Em
And the dark of the moon besides
Fmaj7
Maybe the dark is from your eyes
Em Em7 Em6 EmM5
Maybe the dark is from your eyes
Fmaj7
Maybe the dark is from your eyes
G G Flourish
You know you got such dark eyes
C7 add4
Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown Street
Used to be the heart of town
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
You just got to poke around (C)(C#)
You say you've seen this town clear through
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
Nothin' here that can interest you
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
It's not because you missed out
On the thing that we had to start
Maybe you had too much, too fast
Maybe you had too much, too fast
Maybe you had too much, too fast
And just overplayed your part
Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown Street
Used to be the heart of town
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
You just got to poke around
*Solo* Dm Thing--> (verse/bridge/chorus)
Since I'm passin' your way today
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
I just stopped in 'cause I want to say
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
As I recall your darkness
It crackled like a thundercloud
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
When I can hear it beat out loud
Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown Street
Used to be the heart of town
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
You just got to poke around
You just got to poke around
You just got to poke around
Just got to poke around
Just got to poke around
Just got to poke around
Just got to poke around...
*Solo* (extended C7 jam)
C7
Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown Street
Used to be the heart of town
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
You just got to poke around
Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown Street
Used to be the heart of town
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
You just got to poke around...
