Chasin’ that neon rainbow (Listen to sample)

G C

1. Daddy won a radio, he tuned it to a country show

D C D - D7

I was rockin' in the cradle, to the cryin' of a steel guitar.

G C

Mama used to sing to me, she taught me that sweet harmony,

D

now she worries ‘cause she never thought,

C G D

I'd ever really take it this far, singin' in the bars.

G C G

Chasin' that neon rainbow, livin' that honky tonk dream,

G Bm Em A D

‘cause all I've ever wanted, is to pick this guitar and sing.

C G C A

Just tryin' to be somebody, just wanna be heard and seen,

C D G C A D G

I’m chasin' that neon rainbow, livin' that honky tonk dream.

G C

2. An atlas and a coffee cup, five pickers in an old Dodge truck,

D C D - D7

headin' down to Houston, for a show on Saturday night.

G C

This overhead is killin' me, half the time I sing for free,

D C

but when the crowd's into it, lord it makes

G D

this thing I'm doing seem alright, standin' in the spotlight. + CHORUS

G C

3. Daddy's got a radio, he won it thirty years ago,

D C D - D7

he said "Son I just know, we're gonna hear you singin' on it someday."

G C

Well, I made it up to Music Row, but lordy don't the wheels turn slow,

D

still I wouldn't trade a minute,

C G D

and I wouldn't have it any other way, just show me to the stage.

C D G C A D G

+ CHORUS + Oh, I’m chasin' that neon rainbow, livin' that honky tonk dream.
