The Grateful Dead
Chinatown Shuffle (Live at Rheinhalle, Düsseldorf, West Germany, April 24, 1972)
[Verse 1]
Take it, you can have it
What I've got, baby, I can't hold
If you've got the secret
Tell me how to build the mold
And I can't handle your problems
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
And if you make a mistake, 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
If you fall in my direction
Don't expect no help at all, go on

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Get it right, do it nice
And if you make a mistake, pay for it twice
But if you need it, got to have it
Get yourself a shotgun and bring it back home
[Outro]
Look up the wall, you know you got to call
Before 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
