G G Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9
These steps they remind me of places I used to know,
Em7 Dsus4 G
The smell and the sand of Lake Tahoe,
Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9
The restaurants and strip malls and chimney smoke,
G G Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9
And these bricks they remind me of places I used to go,
Em7 Dsus4 G
With log cabins lining a dirt road,
Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9
When my obligations were in the snow,
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9
I miss home and I miss you,
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9
When there's no one around and nothing to do,
G G Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9
And I still remember those weekends when I was nine,
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/sherwood/lake_tahoe_tab.html ]
Em7 Dsus4 G
And four hours seemed like a lifetime,
Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9
But look out the window son, you'll be fine,
G G Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9
And I traced the railroad through mountains and watched the trees,
Em7 Dsus4 G
The white powder resting on their leaves,
Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9 Em7 Dsus4
As I pulled a blanket over my knees,
For the solo, one guitar plays the verse chords with the same strumming
Guitar 1: G G Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9 Cadd9 Em7 Dsus4 G x2

The song picks right back into the chorus with a longer chord progression.
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9 Cadd9 Em7 Dsus4
Oh, I miss home and I miss you,
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9 Cadd9 Em7 Dsus4
When there's no one around and nothing to do,
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9 Cadd9 Em7 Dsus4
And I know that you're keeping busy too,
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9 Cadd9 Em7 Dsus4
But I miss home and I miss you.
and end it on G and you should have played an awesome and simple song.
