Verse
F#
I was just out of the service thumbin' through the classifieds
B
When an ad that said old Chevy somehow caught my eye
F#
The Lady didn't know the year or even if it ran
B C# F#
but I had that thousand dollars in my hand.
F#
It was way back in the corner of this old ramshackle barn
B
With thirty years of dust and dirt on that green army tarp
C# B
and when I pulled the cover off, It took away my breath
C#
what she called a Chevy was a '66 Corvette.
B C#
And I felt a little guilty as I counted out the bills
F# B C#
but what a thrill I got, when I sat behind the wheel.
F#
I opened up the glove box and that’s when I found the note
B C# F#
The date was 1966 this is what he wrote:
[Chorus]
F# C# B C#
He said my name is Private Andrew Malone
F# C# B C#
and if you’re reading this then I didn't make it home
F# C# B C#
But for every dream that’s shattered, another one comes true
B C#
this car was once a dream of mine, now it belongs to you
F# C# B C#
and though you may take her and make her your own
F# C# B C# F#
You'll always be rid-ing with Private Malone.
[Verse 2]
F#
Well it didn’t take me long, I had her running good
B
I loved to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood.
F#
I had her shining like a diamond and I’d put the ragtop down
B C# F#
All the pretty girls would stop and stare as I drove her through town
F#
The buttons on the radio didn’t seem to work quite right,
B
But it picked up that oldies show, especially late at night
C# B
Sometimes I thought that if I’d turn real quick I’d see,
C#
G# soldier riding shotgun, in the seat right next to me.
[Chorus]
F# C# B C#
It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone
F# C# B C#
Who fought for his country and never made it home
F# C# B C#
But for every dream that’s shattered, another one comes true
B C#
this car was once a dream of his, back when it was new
F# C# B C#
and he told me to take her and make her my own
F# C# B C# F#
And I was proud to be rid-ing with Private Malone
[Verse 3]
B C#
One night it was rainin' hard and I took the curve to fast
F# B C#
I still don’t remember much about that fiery crash
F#
Someone said they thought they saw a soldier pull me out
B C# F#
they didn’t get his name, but I know without a doubt...
[Chorus]
F# C# B C#
It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone
F# C# B C#
Who fought for his country and never made it home
F# C# B C#
But for every dream that’s shattered, another one comes true
B C#
this car was once a dream of his, back when it was new
F# C# B C#
And I know I wouldn’t be here if he hadn’t tagged along
F# C# B C# F#
Oh, Thank-God I was rid-ing with Private Malone
