Lake Shore Drive - Aliotta Haynes Jeremiah
Capo: Fret 4
Tuning: , E A D G B E
If you grew up around Chicagoland, you probably heard this song every morning on the WBBM traffic report.
The other version here on Ultimate Guitar is in the right key, but the voicings/inversions are correct
with a capo on the 4th fret. A few of the chords are different, too. I love this song and really wanted
to get down all those quick chord changes on the chorus.
The chords are all basic, I play the F as a barre chord:
[0] [0] [
0] [0] [1]
[1] [1] [1] [0] [1]
[0] [0] [2] [0] [2]
[2] [0] [2] [2] [3]
[3] [2] [0] [2] [3]
[x] [x] [x] [0] [1]
*Capo 4, key of C, Standard tuning* (with no capo, key of E)
