  			Here's how I play "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 
 
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 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 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
