Standard tuning â?? E A D G B E
Verse 1:
[B] Far from the evergreen of [B]old Assam.
[B] Far from the rainfall on the [B]trails of old Sai[E]gon.
Straight from the poster town of [E]scorn and Ritz.
[B] To bring you the wilder side of [B]golden glitz.
Chorus 1:
[F#] Run, Neon [(G#m)]Tiger, there's a [E]lot on your [(F#)]mind.
[F#] They promised just to [(B)]pet you,[G#m] but don't you let 'em [(G#)]get you.
A[E]way, a[(B)]way, oh, [F#]one.
Under the [E]heat of the [(F#)]south-west [B]sun.[B]
Verse 2:
[B] You took to the spotlight like a [B]diamond ring.
[B] They came from the woodwork in the [B]hopes they might
re[E]deem themselves for poor decisions[E]
to win [B]big.[B]
Chorus 2:
[F#] Run, Neon [(G#m)]Tiger, there's a [E]lot on your [(F#)]mind.
[F#] They'll strategise and [(B)]name you,[G#m] but don't you let 'em [(G#)]tame you.
You're [E]far too [(B)]pure and [F#]bold
to suffer the [E]strain of the [(B)]hangmanâ??[F#]s hold.
Bridge:
[B] I don't wanna be kept, I don't wanna be [B]caged, I don't wanna be damned, oh hell.
[B] I don't wanna be broke, I don't wanna be [B]saved, I don't wanna be SOL.
[E]Give me rolling hills so tonight can be the [E]night that I stand among a thousand thrills.
[B] Mister cut me some slack, 'cos I don't wanna go [B]back, I want a new day and age.
[F#]Come on girls and boys, [E]everyone make some noise!
Fill:
[B] [B]
[B] [B]
Chorus 3:
[F#] Run, Neon [(G#m)]Tiger, there's a [E]price on your [(F#)]head.
[F#] They'll hunt you down and [(B)]gut you,[G#m] I'll never let 'em [(G#)]touch you.
[E]Away, [(B)]away, oh, [F#]one.
Iâ??m begging you[E], Neo[(F#)]n Tiger[G#m], run.
Under the [E]heat [(F#)]of, under the [E]heat [(F#)]of,
under the [E]heat of the [(F#)]south-west [B]sun.
Outro:
Neon Tiger.[B]
There's a [F#]lot on your [B]mind.
