[Strophe]
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
[Refrain]
G                          C                      G 
Chasin' that neon rainbow, livin' that honky tonk dream 
G         D/F#  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

[Strophe]
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 right 
D 
Standin' in the spotlight
[Refrain]
G                          C                      G

C                  G              C                  A 
 Just tryin' to be somebody, just wanna be heard and seen 
C            D    G   C    A           D          G      E 
Chasin' that neon rainbow, Livin' that honky tonk dream

A                    D 
Daddy's got a radio, he won it thirty years ago 
         E                           D                      E 
He said "Son I just know we're gonna hear you singin' on it someday" 
  A                            D 
I made it up to Music Row, but lordy don't the wheels turn slow 
        E                              D                          A 
Still I wouldn't trade a minute, and I wouldn't have it any other way 
     E 
Just show me to the stage
[Refrain]
A                          D                      A
