Intro(strum through spoken intro)
F 
Now way back in 1981, a little baby boy was born in a honky tonk 
As he took his first breath of life beneath them neon lights 
His Momma named him Leon Neon 
Well here's his song. 
 
Chorus
     F                        Bb 
They call me Neon Leon by the morning light I'll be gone 
C                              Bb              F 
Wanderin' on like Dion singing some old living song 
    F                               Bb 
Out in the bright blue beyond where I always will belong 
C                     F  C F 
Momma named me Leon Neon 
 
Verse
                F             Dm           F 
I ain't much to look at but I shine in the dark 
Bb           F                C 
Strumming my guitar somehow I always make a spark 
 
Pre Chorus
Gm                  C       Am                 D 
Friday night you'll find me in some honky tonk bar 
Gm                                C 
On some dim lit stage where I was born to be a star 
 
Chorus
That's why.... 
     F                        Bb 
They call me Neon Leon by the morning light I'll be gone 
C                              Bb              F 
Wandering on like Dion singing some old living song 
    F                               Bb 
Out in the bright blue beyond where I always will belong 
C                     F 
Momma named me Leon Neon 
 
Outro
F 
That's right baby I'm cool, cool like freon 
Bb 
Driving down the road I've always got the A/C on 
C 
I'm heading out yonder and just singing this song 
Bb                    F 
If you like it sing along 
     F 
They call me Neon Leon 
     F 
They call me Neon Leon 
     F 
They call me Neon Leon 
     F 
They call me Neon Leon
