Aliotta Haynes & Jeremiah - Lake Shore Drive
From the album "Lake Shore Drive"
Tabbed by Father-McKenzie

I looked at the other tab from the guy who said he was dosed on ephedrine, and it was 
off, unsuprisingly.
It's nearly impossible to hear the acoustic guitar in the background over the bass, 
and vocals, so I basically followed the bass's lead on the chord structure.

Intro:
Piano, then Piano + Guitar:
E C#m Abm

Verse 1:
            E               C#m             Abm               A
There’s a road I’d like to tell you about, lives in my home town
      E                C#m                    Abm
Lake Shore Drive the road is called and it’ll take you up or down
     A              Abm                           A
From rags on up to riches fifteen minutes you can fly
 E                  C#m      Abm   A                E
Pretty blue lights along the way, help you right on by
        Abm                         A                                 E
And the blue lights shining with a heavenly grace, help you right on by

INSTRUMENTAL: E C#m Abm

CHORUS:
           A                   Abm
And there ain't no road just like it
A          Abm
Anywhere I found
 E                C#m        Abm   A            E
Running south on Lake Shore Drive heading into town
      Abm                A                            E
Just slippin’ on by on L.S.D., Friday night trouble bound

(The rest of the song follows same chord structure)

Verse 2;
And it starts up north from Hollywood, water on the driving side
Concrete mountains rearing up, throwing shadows just about five
Sometimes you can smell the green if your mind is feeling fine
There ain’t no finer place to be, than running Lake Shore Drive

Chorus;

Verse 3;
And it’s Friday night and you’re looking clean, to early to start the rounds
A ten minute ride from the Gold Coast back make sure you’re pleasure bound
And it’s four o’clock in the morning and all of the people have gone away
Just you and your mind and Lake Shore Drive, tomorrow is another day
And the sunshine’s fine in the morning time, tomorrow is another day

Chorus

This is a great song. If you ever get the chance to actually drive down Lake Shore Drive 
4 am in Chicago in a convertible blasting this song, don't pass it up. I hope to do it 
day.
