Chords for Robbie Robertson Shake This Town LIVE David Letterman

_ _ _ _ _ _ Okay.
_ _ _ You guys ready?
Everyone ready over there?
Yes.
Okay.
Our next guest is certainly well-remembered as the guitarist and principal songwriter for the band,
and his new album, which, by the way, we listened to up in the office this afternoon, terrific.
Very enjoyable.
Really very entertaining music.
Has been, this, by the way, nominated for two Grammys.
Well, don't take my word for it, for heaven's sakes.
Look, it's been nominated for awards.
_ The album is called Storyville.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back to the program, Robbie Robertson.
