Chasin' That Neon Rainbow
                         by Alan Jackson


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 rain-bow, 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
