Garth Brooks - 8Teen Chords

[Verse 1]
G                              C
We took Ventura Highway to the Sunshine State
           G                                   D
Where they raised their hands to Jesus as they passed the plate
        Em           D/F#            C
Oh, and every day we spent there was Valentine's day
          Am            D          G
There's a new team, out in Queens, 8teen

[Verse 2]
        G                               C
And the girl made in Japan was made for me to hold
     G                                 D
When Vincent lent an ear the night the thunder rolled
        Em             D/F#         C
And the ride we took together was a rodeo
    Am      D            G           C
Big dreams, six strings, 8teen

[Chorus]
        Em            D/F#          C
And for everyone born 8teen runnin' wild and free
         G                              D
From the pearly gates of Heaven and the fiery sea
          Em                 D/F#                C
Know that each will teach of passage through the trinity
                   Am
God's gift runneth o'er my cup
                          D
Call it a blessing or you call it luck
   C              G      C
It all adds up to 8teen

[Verse 3]
       G                            C
And we heard about the letters kept beside his bed
           G                             D
And how he never could forget her or the words she said
          Em           D/F#             C
That will forever be enshrined and underlined in red
     Am             D         G
Such sad scenes, so pristine, 8teen

[Verse 4]
   G                                  C
He rode that silver bullet 'cross the borderline
        G                             D
There beneath the maple leaf inside a Nimbus 9
        Em                  D              C
And the song he hummed that night moves me every time
Am            D         G      C
Fourteen, and so green, 8teen

[Chorus]
        Em            D/F#          C
And for everyone born 8teen runnin' wild and free
         G                              D
From the pearly gates of Heaven and the fiery sea
          Em                 D/F#                C
Know that each will teach of passage through the trinity
                   Am
God's gift runneth o'er my cup
                          D
Call it a blessing or you call it luck
   C              G      
It all adds up to 8teen

[Bridge]
Cm                    G
Forever frozen now in time
                       Cm
The night the miracle occurred
                           G
They walked on water in my mind
             Em
JC and Uncle Herb
                          A        Am
Though we never heard the words
   D               G
It all adds up to 8teen

[Chorus]
        Em            D/F#          C
And for everyone born 8teen runnin' wild and free
         G                              D
From the pearly gates of Heaven and the fiery sea
          Em                 D/F#                C
Know that each will teach of passage through the trinity
                   Am
God's gift runneth o'er my cup
                          D
Call it a blessing or you call it luck
   C              G      C
It all adds up to 8teen

[Outro]
G    C
