Take A Step Back
Lyrics: The Grateful
Dead
Music: The Grateful Dead
It's time to play everybody's fun game
Take a step back
On the count of three, everybody take a
step back
One, two, three, take a step back
One, two, three, and another step back
One, two, three, and yet another step
back

1. This is more of an announcement than a song, but the band sometimes played
music while Bob made the announcement. This page will document the occasions
when the band made this announcement with accompanying music.2. Often times,
a tuning song such as The
Merry-Go-Round Broke Down was the musical background for this song, such as
on 4/17/84.
3. This is a
rough transcription from memory. I intend to revisit this page and make a more
accurate transcription in the future.
