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.
Intro
G Em D C2    G Em D
  G
These steps C2they remind me of places I used to know,
The Emsmell aDnd the saGnd of Lake Tahoe,
    Em              D               C2   Em
CThGe restaurants and strip malls and chimney smoke,
And these bricks they reEmmind me of Dplaces I C2used to go,
With Emlog cabins Dlining a Gdirt road,
When Emmy obligDations were C2in the EmsnoDw,G  
D/F#I miss Emhome and DI miss C2you,G  
When there's D/F#no one arEmound and Dnothing to C2do,
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,

Intro

G Em D C2 G Em D

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

C G

The restaurants and strip malls and chimney smoke,

Em D C2

And these bricks they remind me of places I used to go,

When my obligations were in the snow,

D/F# Em D C2 G

I miss home and I miss you,

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,
