Bm  G  D  F#


Verse 1:
Bm                                                      G
On the coldest winter's night, the cowboy fled into the wild
                                               D
Running from the weight of the world, followed only by his own shadow
         F#
For many moons he wandered aimlessly without food or water
                Bm
Praying for shelter, dreaming of an oasis
               G                                                 D
In his darkest hour, he fell to his knees, and was ready to give up
                                                    F#
At that moment, a divine wind blew off the cowboy's hat
                                         Bm
He chased and chased his hat all the way up the mountain
                     G
As he arrived at the peak, he lifted his head and he saw it
         D
The most beautiful thing he had ever seen
                              F#
The Jewel of the Sierras, the Lake of the Sky
N.C.
Tahoe

Chorus:
  Bm       G
Tahoe Oooh oh
  D        F#
Tahoe Oooh oh
  Bm       G
Tahoe Oooh oh
  D        F#
Tahoe Oooh oh


Verse 2:
Bm
He ran to the lake and began to drink from it
G                                                    D
The ice cold water quenched his thirst like a monsoon in the driest desert
                          F#
He finally had everything he had ever wanted
                             Bm
But his smile vanished as he looked into the lake
                            D
And saw the reflection of a man that he knew but did not love
       G
And he cried out
                        F#
"Oh God, how can I have everything but feel like I am nothing "
    Bm
And God said
                         D
"Because man was made to suffer"
     D
With agony, the cowboy cried
           G
"Why did you make me, God "
            F#*     N.C.
And God proclaimed "Because the greatest view comes after the hardest climb"


Chorus:

  Bm       G
Tahoe Oooh oh
  D        F#
Tahoe Oooh oh
  Bm       G
Tahoe Oooh oh
  D        F#
Tahoe Oooh oh
