The Grateful Dead
Chinatown Shuffle (Live at Academy of Music, New York, NY, March 28, 1972)
[Verse 1]
Take it, you can have it
What I've got, baby, I can't hold
And if you find the secret
Tell me how to build the mold
And I can't handle your problems
So don't try to handle mine
Get yourself a shotgun, a pocketful of shells
And we can while away the time

[Chorus]
Get it right, do it nice
So if you make a mistake you're going to pay for it twice
But if you need it, got to have it
Get yourself a shotgun and bring it back home

[Verse 2]
Look up the wall, you know you gotta call
Before you start falling, be ready to fall
And if you fallin' my direction
Don't expect no help at all, go on

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
Get it right, do it nice
And if you makе a mistake, you're gonna pay for it twice
But if you need it, got to havе it
Get yourself a shotgun and bring it back home
[Outro]
Look up the wall, you know you got to call
But if you start falling, be ready to fall
If you fall in my direction
Don't expect no help at all
Don't expect no help at all
Don't expect no help at all
If you fall in my direction, don't expect no help at all
