Version 1
            [Intro]
G
[Verse]
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         D/F#  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
[Solo]
C   D   G  C  A  D   G
[Verse]
G                              C
An atlas and a coffe 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 right
D
Standin' in the spotlight
[Chorus]
G                          C                      G
Chasin' that neon rainbow, livin' that honky tonk dream
G         D/F#  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
[Verse]
A                    D
Daddy's got a radio, he won it thirty years ago
         E                           D                      E
He said "Son I just know we're gonna hear you singin' on it someday"
  A                            D
I made it up to Music Row, but lordy don't the wheels turn slow
        E                              D                          A
Still I wouldn't trade a minute, and I wouldn't have it any other way
     E
Just show me to the stage
[Chorus]
A                          D                      A
Chasin' that neon rainbow, livin' that honky tonk dream
A         A/G# F#m            B                    E      
 All I've ever wanted, was to pick this guitar and sing
D                  A              D                  B
 Just tryin' to be somebody, just wanna be heard and seen
D            E    A   D    B           E          A
Chasin' that neon rainbow, Livin' that honky tonk dream
D            E    A   D    B           E          A
Chasin' that neon rainbow, Livin' that honky tonk dream
