Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Piano, then Piano + Guitar:

Verse 1

There’s a road I’d like to tell you about, lives in my home town

Lake Shore Drive the road is called and it’ll take you up or down

From rags on up to riches fifteen minutes you can fly

Pretty blue lights along the way, help you right on by

And the blue lights shining with a heavenly grace, help you right on by

Instrumental

Chorus

And there ain't no road just like it

Anywhere I found

Running south on Lake Shore Drive heading into town

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.
