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

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

Took to the spotlight like a diamond ring
Came from the woodwork in the hopes they might
Redeem themselves from poor decisions to win big

Chorus:
Run neon tiger there's a lot on your mind
They'll strategize and maim you,
but don't you let them tame you
You're far too pure and bold
To suffer the strain of the hand and its hold

B
I don't wanna be kept, I don't wanna be caged,
I don't wanna be damned, oh hell.
I don't wanna be broke, I don't wanna be saved,
I don't wanna be SOL.

 E
Give me rolling hills
so tonight can be the night
that I stand among a thousand thrills.
B
Mister cut me some slack, 'cos
I don't wanna go back,
I want a new day and age.
F#
Come on girls and boys,
E
Everyone make some noise!

Chorus:
Run neon tiger there's a price on your head
They'll hunt you down and gut you,
I'll never let 'em touch you
Away, away, oh, run
I'm begging you neon tiger run
Under the heat of
Under the heat of
Under the heat of southwest sun

Neon Tiger.
There's a lot on your mind.
