Verse 1:
G+G               C majorC
We took Ventura Highway to the Sunshine State
      G+G                  D MajorD
Where they raised their hands to Jesus as they passed the plate

There's a new team, out in Queens, 8teen

Verse 2:
    G+G                C majorC
And the girl made in Japan was made for me to hold
   G+G                 D MajorD
When Vincent lent an ear the night the thunder rolled
    E minorEm       D/F#D/F#     C majorC
And the ride we took together was a rodeo
  A minorAm   D MajorD      G+G      C majorC
Big dreams, six strings, 8teen

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

    G+G              C majorC
And we heard about the letters kept beside his bed
      G+G               D MajorD
And how he never could forget her or the words she said
     E minorEm      D/F#D/F#       C majorC
That will forever be enshrined and underlined in red
   A minorAm       D MajorD     G+G
Such sad scenes, so pristine, 8teen

Verse 4:
  G+G                 C majorC
He rode that silver bullet 'cross the borderline
    G+G               D MajorD
There beneath the maple leaf inside a Nimbus 9
    E minorEm         D MajorD       C majorC
And the song he hummed that night moves me every time
A minorAm      D MajorD     G+G   C majorC
Fourteen, and so green, 8teen

Know that each will teach of passage through the trinity
          A minorAm
God's gift runneth o’er my cup
