Tom: G

[ 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 ]       [ 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
