Neon Tiger

B                           B
  Far from the evergreen of old 
Assam.
B                            
  Far from the rainfall on the 
  B                E
trails of old Saigon.
  Straight from the poster town of 
E
scorn and Ritz.
B                                 
  To bring you the wilder side of 
B
golden glitz.

Chorus 1:
F#          (G#m)            E  
  Run, Neon Tiger, there's a lot
         (F#)
 on your mind.
F#                      (B)     
  They promised just to pet you,
G#m                     (G#)
  but don't you let 'em get you.
 E     (B)      F#
Away, away, oh, one.
          E           (F#)       
Under the heat of the south-west 
B         B
sun.

Verse 2:
B                                  
  You took to the spotlight like a 
B
diamond ring.
B                                 
  They came from the woodwork in 
   B
the hopes they might
  E                                
redeem themselves for poor 
  E
decisions
       B      B
to win big.

Chorus 2:
F#          (G#m)            E  
  Run, Neon Tiger, there's a lot
         (F#)
 on your mind.
F#                       (B)      
  They'll strategise and name you,
G#m                     (G#)
  but don't you let 'em tame you.
       E       (B)      F#
You're far too pure and bold
              E            
to suffer the strain of the 
 (B)       F#
hangman’s hold.

Bridge:
B                              
  I don't wanna be kept, I don't 
           B
wanna be caged, I don't wanna be 
damned, oh hell.
B                                 
  I don't wanna be broke, I don't 
         B
wanna be saved, I don't wanna be G  
.
E                                 
Give me rolling hills so tonight 
          E
can be the night that I stand among 
a thousand thrills.
B                                 
  Mister cut me some slack, 'cos I
                B
 don't wanna go back, I want a new 
day and age.
F#                      E
Come on girls and boys, everyone 
make some noise!

F#          (G#m)            E  
  Run, Neon Tiger, there's a 
           (F#)
price on your head.
F#                          (B)  
  They'll hunt you down and gut 
   G#m                  (G#)
you,  I'll never let 'em touch you.
E     (B)       F#
Away, away, oh, one.
                 E    (F#)   G#m
I’m begging you, Neon Tiger, run.
          E    (F#)          E    
Under the heat of, under the heat 
(F#)
of,
          E           (F#)       
under the heat of the south-west
