Chasin That Neon Rainbow 
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
Chattahoochee
Tom: C
C
Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
		      G		  C
Its get hotter than a Hoochie-Koochie
C
We laid rubber on the Georgia asphalt
C			     G	       C
We got a little crazy but we never got caught
F
Down by the river on a Friday night
C			
A few Miller cans in the pale moonlight
F
Talkin' 'bout cars and dreamin' 'bout women
D7					G
Never had a plan, just alivin' for the minute

Chorus:
C
Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
				     G
Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me
C
But I learned how to swim and I learned who I was
			 G
A lot 'bout living and a little 'bout love

C
We fogged up the window in my ole chevy
		      G		  C
I was willin but she wasn't ready'
C
So I settled for a burger and a grape snow cone
C			     G	       C
I dropped her off early but I didn't go home
F
Down by the river on a Friday night
C			
A few Miller can in the pale moonlight
F
Talkin' 'bout cars and dreamin' 'bout women
D7					G
Never had a plan, just alivin' for the minute
**Chorus

 

Tonight I Climbed The Wall
Tom: G
G                                C                  G
Our room is filled with silence, I guess we said it all
                                                          D
I don't know when I'd seen our bedroom, so long I can't recall
         G
Cause we built this thing between us
C                       G
I'm not sure what's the cost
G                           D                         G
As I swallowed all my pride and tonight I climbed the wall
Chorus:
C                                               G
Tonight I climbed the wall, and took her by the hand
                      C                              D
We've come too far to fall, couldn't stand to see it end
C    D                 G
So tonight I climb the wall
       G                                 C                G
Makin' love is so much sweeter, when you love the one you hold
                                                             D
After all these years of holdin' her, you'd think by now I'd know
G                           C                     G
Now as we lie here together all our troubles seem so small
                                   D                           G
Just these satin sheets between us cause tonight I climbed the wall

Tropical Depression
Tom: G
Intro: C  D  G
      Tacit                   G
  I thought some time in the sun
                          C
  Would help me get over you
                            D
  But I could tell from day one
                              G
  This is a place meant for two
      Tacit                   G
  Now here I sit on the beach
                          C
  Watching the tide ebb and flow
                            D
  I booked my room for a week
                       G
  But now I'm ready to go
Chorus:
                        C
  I'm in a tropical depression 
                            G
  I've got the blue water blues
                                 C
  Can't shake this loving you obsession
                                D
  Can't stand this sand in my shoes 
                         C
  This forgetting you vacation
                        G
  Is just a fool's holiday
                       C
  If I can't get over you
                    D
  This tropical depression's gonna
            G
  Blow me away
      Tacit              G
  This should be paradise
                          C
  Heaven down by the sea
                            D
  Without you here by my side
                        G
  It feels like hell to me
**Chorus
                       C
  If I can't get over you
                    D         Tacit 
  This tropical depression's gonna
                C  D  G
  Blow me away

Intro: Dm Dm C C Dm Dm C C 
Dm                               C
Midnight in Montgomery.  Silver Eagle.  Lonely road
      Am                        C
I was on my way to mobile for a big new year's eve show
  Dm                                  C
I stopped for just a minute to see a friend out side of town
       Am                               C
Put my collar up.  I found his name and felt the wind die down
    Dm                        C
And drunk man in a cowboy hat took me by surprise
        Am                            C
Wearing shiny boots, a nudie suit and haunting haunted eyes
         Dm                               C
He said, friend it's good to see you it's nice to know you care
         Am                                       C
Then the wind picked up and he was gone or was he ever really there
Chorus:
     Dm              C
It's midnight in Montgomery
     Dm                C
Just Hear That Whippoorwill
        Dm                 C
See the stars light up the purple sky
Am                 C
Feel that lonesome chill
         Dm
When the wind is right you'll hear his song
      C
Smell whiskey in the air
Am
Midnight in Montgomery
     C              Dm

Intro:  G  A  D  G  D
                     G               A
Cowboys don't cry,
                        D
And heroes don't die.
                         G            A
And good always wins
                   D
Again and again.
                    G                   A
And love is a sweet dream
      A7                     D
That always comes true
                          G                  A
Oh, if life were like the movies,
      A7          D       G        D
I'd never be blue.
Chorus:
       D7             G
But here in the real world,
                            D
It's not that easy at all,
                                     A7
'Cause when hearts get broken,
                           D
It's real tears that fall.
      D7             G
And darlin', it's sad but true,
                                   D
But the one thing I've learned from you,
                              Em                  G
Is how the boy don't always get the girl,

I gave you my love,
                        D
But that wasn't enough,
                     G               A
To hold your heart
                        D
When times got tough.
                             G               A
And tonight on that silver screen,
      A7                     D
It'll end like it should,
                        G               A
Two lovers will make it through
        A7          D       G        D
Like I hoped we would.

     NC              G                    F          NC
She looked me in the eye and said, "It's over."
 F                G             C
I can't take this heartache anymore."
     C                   G                F
She said, "Don't tell me lies and try to please me.
      F                            G
I've heard it all so many times before."
       C              G                     F
And I took her by the arm and said, "Don't leave me!
         F              G                 C
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do.
      C                 G                  F
Just give me time, I'll be the man you've needed."
              F                G                  C
She said, "I wish that I could take that for the truth."
              F                    C                  
And I said, "Someday, I'll get my life straight."
                     G       G                C           
And she said, "It's too late; what's done is done."
                  F         
And I told her, "Someday!"
              Am7         
She said, "I can't wait;
                 G      F    G      C           
Cause sometimes someday just never comes."
            G/B (or Bm)                      F
She said, "All I've ever wanted was to love you,
     F               G                C
And somewhere deep inside me I still do.
     G/B (Bm)                       F
But now I think it's time I stop believing,
           F                           G
Cause I'm never gonna see a change in you.
              F                    C                 C
And I said, "Someday, I'll get my life straight."
                     G       G                C   
And she said, "It's too late; what's done is done."
                  F
And I told her, "Someday!"
              Am7    
She said, "I can't wait;
                 G      F    G      C   
Cause sometimes someday just never comes.
               G      F    G      C       G    C (Stop)
Oh, sometimes someday just never comes."
Buicks To The Moon
Tom :G
 G                       C               G
How long will I love you I don't really know
    C                G        D
I'd like to think forever is how far we could go
  G                           C             G
So let me paint a picture of how it's gonna be
     C                 D             G
The day you don't mean everything to me
Chorus:
        D                          C                  G
When a nickel's worth a dollar and gold ain't worth a dime
          D                                C                 D
When they build a ship on waters that will take you back in time
          G                              C             Em
When the stars have all been counted and I stop lovin' you
       C                 D            G
Honey they'll be drivin' Buicks to the moon

G   C   Em
C   D   G
 G                       C               G
You don't have to worry about what comes to pass
    C                      G                D
This ol' world may wear out but my love's gonna last
 G                       C               G
If they ever build that highway to the moon
     C                 D             G
I'll just find somethin' else to promise you
**Chorus
          G                              C             Em
When the stars have all been counted and I stop lovin' you
       C                 D            G
Honey they'll be drivin' Buicks to the moon

A Song For Life
Tom: C
Intro: (Capo At 2nd Fret)   C  Em  Am  C7  F    G7  C   G                                                                                   
C                   Em          Am-C7     F        G7               C - G7    
Well I don't drink as much as I used to, lately it just ain't my style,                                                                        
 Em                         Am-C7                   
And the hard times don't hurt like they ought to, 
     F                G7              C-G7
They pass quickly like when I was a child,
                                                                                                             
F                         G                    C-C7    
And some how I've learned how to listen,  
    F           G   Am-C7
For a sound like the sun goin down, 
F                G7           C-F           
In the magic the mornin is bringin,  
C               Em            Am-C7
There's a song for the life I have found,
F             G7        C - G7
It keeps my feet on the ground,
C              Em             Am-C7                                  
  And a mid-summer days sits so heavy,
F			 G7            C- 				 G7
But don't they flow like the breeze through your mind,
C               Em            Am-C7          F                 G7   C-G7
When nothin appears in a hurry,  to make up for someone's lost time,
 
  
        F                         G           C-C7     
And some how I've learned how to listen,  
     F           G    Am-C7
For a sound like the sun goin down,
     F                 G7          C-F      
In the magic the mornin is bringin, 
            C              Em    Am-C7
There's a song for the life I have found,
F            G7               C
It keeps my feet on the ground,
(add-lib Lead)
 
       F                            G          C-C7    
And some how I've learned how to listen, 
        F          G  Am-C7
For a sound like the breeze dyin down,
    F                G7           C-F       
In the magic the mornin is bringin, 
            C                Em  Am-C7
There's a song for the friend I have found,
F                    G7             C-C7          F          G7    C
She keeps my feet on the ground,   she keeps my feet on the ground.

 

Chasin' That Neon Rainbow
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 coffee 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

 

Tonight I Climbed The Wall
Tom: G
G                                C                  G
Our room is filled with silence, I guess we said it all
                                                          D
I don't know when I'd seen our bedroom, so long I can't recall
         G
Cause we built this thing between us
C                       G
I'm not sure what's the cost
G                           D                         G
As I swallowed all my pride and tonight I climbed the wall
Chorus:
C                                               G
Tonight I climbed the wall, and took her by the hand
                      C                              D
We've come too far to fall, couldn't stand to see it end
C    D                 G
So tonight I climb the wall
       G                                 C                G
Makin' love is so much sweeter, when you love the one you hold
                                                             D
After all these years of holdin' her, you'd think by now I'd know
G                           C                     G
Now as we lie here together all our troubles seem so small
                                   D                           G
Just these satin sheets between us cause tonight I climbed the wall

The Devil And Me
Tom: D

D
This world can take you by the hand
D              G
And tempt the soul of any man
G         D
You can choose your path
D                          A
There's two roads you can take
 A       D
One is right one is wrong
 D        G
Flesh is weak but love is strong
G      D                      A       D
She's all I see between the devil and me
Chorus:
D
The gates of hell swing open wide
D         G           D
Inviting me to step inside
D                     D
I'll be your friend  he calls again
D            A
I know it's him
A                 D
The flames are spreading everywhere
D            G                D
Through the smoke I see her there
D                             A       D
She's all I see between the devil and me
**Lead
D
I hold her in my arm tonight
D            G
So safe and warm I close my eyes
G      D                                           A
And a cool breeze blows across our bodies in the dark
A             D
Outside her reach is my concern
D            G
Somewhere I know the fire burns
G      D                      A        D
She's all I see between the devil and me
**Chorus, To Ending
**Ending:
D
The gates of hell swing open wide
D        G             D
Inviting me to step inside
D                             A       D
She's all I see between the devil and me
There Goes

We got a little crazy but we never got caught

Never had a plan, just alivin' for the minute

Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee

Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me

But I learned how to swim and I learned who I was

A lot 'bout living and a little 'bout love

C
We fogged up the window in my ole chevy
		      G		  C
I was willin but she wasn't ready'

So I settled for a burger and a grape snow cone

A few Miller can in the pale moonlight

               A
  I know it's him
                    D
  The flames are spreadin' everywhere
                    G
  But through the smoke I see her there
        D                      A         D
  She's all I see between the devil and me
		 D
  I hold her in my arms tonight
                 G
  So safe and warm I close my eyes
		 D
  And a cool breeze blows 
                        A
  Across our bodies in the dark
		 D
  Outside her reach is my concern
                 G
  Somewhere I know a fire burns
            D                    A         D
  And she's all I see between the devil and me
**Chorus
Tag:
		 D
  The gates of hell swing open wide
                 G
  Invitin' me to step inside
        D                     A         D
  She's all I see between the devil and me

Take my hand let's face eternity.

But I will give you all that I am.

That Neon Rainbow
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

Well I thought I wanted freedom but that ball & chain I need em

Dallas
Tom: G
            
[G]Dallas packed her suitcase
[C]And drove off in the brand new car I [G]bought her
[G]She made leaving me look easy
[C]I wish she'd made it look a little [G]harder
[D]I took her out of Texas
[C]When she was just a girl
[D]But old Tennessee and me
Couldn't take [C]Texas out of[D] her
Chorus:
On [G]how I wish Dallas was in [D]Tennessee
If I could move [C]Texas east
Then[D] she'd be here with me
Then [G]nothin' else would come between the[D] two of us
If [C]Dallas was [D]in Tennes[G]see
[G]By now she's leaving Memphis
[C]And everything we had [G]behind her
[G]Lord I hope the gold band on her[C] hand
Will serve as a [G]reminder
[D]That true love is a treasure
[C]That's very seldom found
[D]But you can't stay together if [C]there's no common[D] ground
Repeat chorus then add
Oh if [C]Dallas was [D]in Tennes[G]see
