Lake Tahoe (For My Father) - Sherwood
Can be played with the high E and B strings on the third fret for the entire song (with
pinkie and ring fingers), I’m not sure if this is how they play it.

These steps they remind me of places I used to know,
Em D G
The smell and the sand of Lake Tahoe,
Em D C2 Em

The restaurants and strip malls and chimney smoke,
Em D C2
And these bricks they remind me of places I used to go,
Em D G
With log cabins lining a dirt road,
Em D C2 Em D G
When my obligations were in the snow,
D/F# Em D C2 G
I miss home and I miss you,
D/F# Em D C2
When there's no one around and nothing to do,
And I still remember those weekends when I was nine,
And four hours seemed like a lifetime,
But look out the window son, you'll be fine,
And I traced the railroad through mountains and watched the trees,
The white powder resting on their leaves,
As I pulled a blanket over my knees,
Oh, I miss home and I miss you,
When there's no one around and nothing to do,
And I know that you're keeping busy too,
But I miss home and I miss you,
