Information: Following conventional lyric notation practice, words are broken into syllables to interpret the phrasing of the lyrics. Each word syllable in the lyrics below represents a note on the vocal part of this arrangement. A hyphen '-' or trailing hyphens following a word syllable indicates that the word syllable is extended over more than one note. ============================= Title:Chasin' That Neon Rainbow Key Signature:D Major Artist:Alan Jackson Songwriters:Jackson/Mc Bride Copyright:EMI Songs/Warner Chappell Music Publishing HR:MN:SC Total Running Time:00:03:06 ============================= INTRO . . . Dad-dy won a ra-di-o He tuned it to a coun-try show
I was rock-ing in the cra-dle to the cry-ing of a steel - gui-tar
Ma-ma used to sing to me She taught me that sweet har-mo-ny Now she wor-ries
'cause she nev-er thought I'd ev-er real-ly take it this far
Sing-ing in the bars and Chas-in' the ne-on rain-bow Liv-in' that honk-y tonk dream
'Cause all I've ev-er wan-ted is too pick this gui-tar and sing
Just tryin' to be some-bod-y Just wan-na be heard and seen
I'm chas-in' that ne-on rain--bow - Liv-in' that honk-y tonk dream
An at-las and a cof-fee cup Five pick-ers in an old - Dodge truck
Head-ing down to Hou-ston for a show on Sat-ur-day night
This - o-ver-head is kill-ing me Half the time I sing for free But when the crowd's in-to it
Lord it makes this thing I'm do-ing seem right
Stand-ing in the spot-light Chas-in' that ne-on rain-bow I'm liv-in' that honk-y tonk dream
'Cause all I've ev-er wan-ted is too pick this gui-tar and sing
Just tryin' to be some-bod-y Just wan-na be heard and seen
I'm chas-in' that ne-on rain--bow - Liv-in' that honk-y tonk dream
Dad-dy's got a ra-di-o He won it thir-ty years - a-go
He said 'Son I just now we're gon-na hear you sing-ing on it some day
I made - it up to Mu-sic Row Lord--y don't the wheels - turn slow
But I would-n't trade a min-ute I would-n't have it an-y oth-er way
Just show me to the stage I'm chas-in' that ne-on rain-bow Liv-in' that honk-y tonk dream
'Cause all I've ev-er wan-ted is too pick this gui-tar and sing
Just tryin' to be some-bod-y Just wan-na be heard and seen I'm chas-in' that ne-on rain--bow
- Liv-in' that honk-y tonk dream I'm chas--in' that ne-on rain-bow - Liv-in' that honk-y tonk dream
