Chasin' That Neon Rainbow

Alan Jackson

Tom: G


 G                  C 
Daddy won a radio, tuned it to a country show
       D                             C                 D 
I was rockin' in the cradle, to the cryin' of a steel guitar
 G                        C 
Mama used to sing to me, taught me that sweet harmony
         D                                    C                        G 
Now she worries cause she never thought, I'd ever really take it this far
 D 
Singin' in the bars

Chorus:
 G                          C                      G 
Chasin' that neon rainbow, livin' that honky tonk dream
 G         Bm   Em             A                    D       
All I've ever wanted, was 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 
Chasin' that neon rainbow, Livin' that honky tonk dream

 G                              C 
An atlas and a coffee cup, five pickers in an old Dodge truck
 D                              C                D 
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                               G 
But when the crowd's into it, lord it makes this thing I'm doing seem alright
 D 
Standin' in the spotlight

 G                       C 
Daddy's got a radio, he won it thirty years ago
         D                            C                      D 
He said "Son I just know we're gonna hear you singin' on it someday"
 G                              C 
I made it up to Music Row, but lordy don't the wheels turn slow
         D                              C                          G 
Still I wouldn't trade a minute, and I wouldn't have it any other way
 D 
Just show me to the stage
