[Lyric] China Doll Live at Boston Garden Boston MA September 25 1991 (The Grateful Dead)

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
A pistol shot at five o'clock
The bells of heaven ring
Tell me what you done it for
No, I won't tell you a thing
Yesterday I begged you
Before I hit the ground
All I leave behind me
Is only what I found

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
If you can abide it
Let the hurdy-gurdy play
Stranger ones have come by here
Before they flew away
I will not condemn you
Nor yet would I deny
I would ask the same of you
But failing will not die
[Outro]
Take up your china doll
(Take up your china doll)
It's only fractured
And just a littlе nervous
From the fall

Na, na-na-na-na-na-na
