Alan Jackson - Chasin' That Neon Rainbow
From "Here In The Real World" (1989)
(Alan Jackson, Jim McBride)
[G]Daddy won a radio
[C]Tuned it to a country show
I was [D]rockin' in the cradle
To the [C]cryin' of a steel [D]guitar
[G]Mama used to sing to me
[C]Taught me that sweet harmony
Now she [D]worries cause she never thought
I'd [C]ever really take it this [G]far
[D]Singin' in the bars
CHORUS:
[G]Chasin that neon rainbow
[C]Livin' that honky tonk [G]dream
Cause all I've [Bm]ever [Em]wanted
Is to [A]pick this guitar and [D]sing
[C]Just tryin' to be [G]somebody
[C]Just wanna be heard and [A]seen
[C]Chasin' that [D]neon [G]rain[C]bow
[A]Livin' that [D]honky tonk [G]dream
[G]An atlas and a coffee cup,
Five [C]pickers in an old Dodge truck
[D]Headin' down to Houston,
For a [C]show on Saturday [D]night
This [G]overhead is killin' me,
[C]Half the time I sing for free
But when the [D]crowd's into it,
Lord it [C]makes this thing I'm doing seem [G]right
[D]Standin' in the spotlight
CHORUS
[G]Daddy's got a radio,
He [C]won it thirty years ago
He said [D]"Son I just know we're gonna [C]hear you singin' on it [D]someday"
[G]I made it up to Music Row,
But [C]lordy don't the wheels turn slow
Still I [D]wouldn't trade a minute,
And I [C]wouldn't have it any other [G]way
[D]Just show me to the stage
CHORUS
I’m [C]chasin’ that [D]neon [G]rain[C]bow,
[A]Livin’ that [D]honky tonk [G]dream
