8teen Garth Brooks
[Verse 1]
[G]We took Ventura Highway to the [C]Sunshine State
Where they [G]raised their hands to Jesus as they [D]passed the plate
Oh, and [Em]every day we [D/F#]spent there was [C]Valentine's day
There's a [Am]new team, out [D]in Queens, [G]8teen
[Verse 2]
And the [G]girl made in Japan was made for [C]me to hold
When [G]Vincent lent an ear the night the [D]thunder rolled
And the [Em]ride we took to[D/F#]gether was a [C]rodeo
Big [Am]dreams, [D]six strings, [G]8teen[C]
[Cborus]
And for [Em]everyone born [D/F#]8teen runnin' [C]wild and free
From the [G]pearly gates of Heaven and the [D]fiery sea
Know that [Em]each will teach of [D/F#]passage through the [C]trinity
God's gift runneth [Am]o'er my cup
Call it a blessing or you [D]call it luck
It [C]all adds up to [G]8teen[C]
[Verse 3]
And we [G]heard about the letters kept [C]beside his bed
And how he [G]never could forget her or the [D]words she said
That will [Em]forever be en[D/F#]shrined and under[C]lined in red
Such [Am]sad scenes, so [D]pristine, [G]8teen
[Verse 4]
He [G]rode that silver bullet 'cross the [C]borderline
There be[G]neath the maple leaf inside a [D]Nimbus 9
And the [Em]song he hummed that [D]night moves me [C]every time
[Am]Fourteen, and [D]so green, [G]8teen[C]
[Cborus]
And for [Em]everyone born [D/F#]8teen runnin' [C]wild and free
From the [G]pearly gates of Heaven and the [D]fiery sea
Know that [Em]each will teach of [D/F#]passage through the [C]trinity
God's gift runneth [Am]o'er my cup
Call it a blessing or you [D]call it luck
It [C]all adds up to [G]8teen
[Bridge]
[Cm]Forever frozen now in [G]time
The night the miracle o[Cm]ccurred
They walked on water in my [G]mind
JC and Uncle [Em]Herb
Though we never heard the [A]words[Am]
It [D]all adds up to 8[G]teen
[Cborus]
And for [Em]everyone born [D/F#]8teen runnin' [C]wild and free
From the [G]pearly gates of Heaven and the [D]fiery sea
Know that [Em]each will teach of [D/F#]passage through the [C]trinity
God's gift runneth [Am]o'er my cup
Call it a blessing or you [D]call it luck
It [C]all adds up to [G]8teen[C]
[Outro]
[G] [to eC]nd]
