Cryin' of a steel guitar
G   
Momma used to sing to me
    C
She taught me that sweet harmony

Now she worries 'cus she never thought I'd

Chorus:
G                        C                    G
Chasin' that neon rainbow, livin' that honky-tonk dream
G      G/F#Em         C                  D
All I've ever  wanted is to pick this guitar and sing
C                   G        C                A7
Just trying to be somebody, just wanna be heard and seen

Verse 2:
An atlas and a coffee cup
Five pickers in an old Dodge truck
Headin' down to Houston for a 
Show on Saturday night
This overhead is killin' me
Half the time I sing for free
But when the crowd's into it, Lord
It makes this thing I'm doing seem right
Standing in the spotlight


Chorus


(Transition to A): D - E

Verse 3:

He won it thirty years ago

Hear you singin' on it someday."
        A
Well, I made it up to music row
D
Lordy, don't the wheels turn slow?
         E
Still, I wouldn't trade a minute
      D                        A
And I wouldn't have it any other way
     E...
Just show me to the stage, I'm


Chorus:
A                        D                    A
Chasin' that neon rainbow, livin' that honky-tonk dream
A      A/G#F#m        D                  E
All I've ever  wanted is to pick this guitar and sing
D                   A        D                B7
Just trying to be somebody, just wanna be heard and seen
    D          E  A D  B7        E        A
I'm chasin' that neon rainbow, livin' that honky-tonk dream


Tag:

Oh I'm chasin' that neon rainbow...
B7        E        A
Livin' that honky-tonk dream


*NOTES*
Both of these chords are used to walk down from the home chord to the minor 
chord in the chorus (one is in the first half of the song, pre-key change, one is after):

A/G#
G/F#

The only thing I don't like about this is the G/F# in the chorus, but that is better than the version I have been using. That version uses a Bm in that spot, but I just skip it and go straight from the G to the Em and it sounds fine. I'm also not a fan of the key change even though I think you are right about that. But I only play for myself and a small circle of family and friends. Most of them don't know the difference. Good job, but I'm going to keep playing this song the way I have been.

One other minor thing. I'm not sure the A7 is right. I use A, but I will try the A7 and see how it sounds.
