Tom: G5
G5 C5
Daddy won a radio, tuned it to a country show
D5 C5 D5
I was rockin' in the cradle, to the cryin' of a steel guitar
G5 C5
Mama used to sing to me, taught me that sweet harmony
D5 C5 G5
Now she worries cause she never thought, I'd ever really take it this far
D5
Singin' in the bars
Chorus:
G5 C5 G5
Chasin' that neon rainbow, livin' that honky tonk dream
G5 B5 E5 A5 D5
All I've ever wanted, was to pick this guitar and sing
C5 G5 C5 A5
Just tryin' to be somebody, just wanna be heard and seen
C5 D5 G5 C5 A5 D5 G5
Chasin' that neon rainbow, Livin' that honky tonk dream
G5 C5
An atlas and a coffee cup, five pickers in an old Dodge truck
D5 C5 D5
Headin' down to Houston, for a show on Saturday night
G5 C5
This overhead is killin' me, half the time I sing for free
D5 C5 G5
But when the crowd's into it, lord it makes this thing I'm doing seem alright
D5
Standin' in the spotlight
G5 C5
Daddy's got a radio, he won it thirty years ago
D5 C5 D5
He said "Son I just know we're gonna hear you singin' on it someday"
G5 C5
I made it up to Music Row, but lordy don't the wheels turn slow
D5 C5 G5
Still I wouldn't trade a minute, and I wouldn't have it any other way
D5
Just show me to the stage
