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