[Verse 1]
G
(It) was a summer night
C
I took off in my old man's car
G                             D
Rolled the windows right on down
G
I cranked up the radio
C
And chased a meteor
G                      D
On a dirt road out of town


[Chorus 1]
  C
Tonight
          G
There's a bonfire in Walker's field
  C
Tonight
       G
In the firelight our dreams revealed
  C
Tonight
        G
You can chase away your high school years
Am                            C
Shadows dancing wildly at the scene
      Am
But I never knew right then
             C
Just what it means
      G
To be eighteen

[Verse 2]
G
The voice of Jimmy Aberdeen
C
Still washes over me
G                             D
He had a laugh like a thunder cloud
G
He's holding blue spray paint
C
Jimmy was no saint
G                          D
But he could always draw the crowd


[Chorus 2]
     C
That night
               G
We climbed the water tower in Walker's field
     C
That night
          G
Above the lights of town our fates were sealed
     C
That night
      G
Jimmy fell down through the darkness
   Am                               C
An ambulance brought silence to the scene
    Am
And carried off the life
           C
And broken dreams
   G
Of Jimmy Aberdeen

[Verse 3]
G
Now the years have passed
C
The cabbie taps the glass
G
We're outside
           D
My reunion hall
G
He leaves me to the night
C
I can count the satellites
G
I see the tower
        D
Looming tall


[Chorus 3]
  C
Tonight
    G
I'm taking on my memory
  C
Tonight
              G
I climbed the water tower for all to see
  C
Tonight
  G
I painted steel with cobalt blue
Am
Spelling out
              C
My graduation year
          Am
Above the highway
                    C
That took me out of here


[Bridge]
      Am
And I finally think
         C
I really know what it means
      G
To be eighteen
C
Eighteen
G
Eighteen
