VERSE 1

E
I was just out of the service thumbin' through the classifieds

A
When an ad that said old chevy somehow caught my eye

E
The lady didn't know the year or even if it ran

A                                      B                   E
But I had that thousand dollars in my hand


E
It was way back in the in corner of this old ramshackle barn

A
With thirty years of dust and dirt on that green army tarp

B                                              A
When I pulled the cover off it took away my breath

A                                                   B            E
What she called a chevy was a sixty-six corvette


C#m                           B
I felt a little guilty as I counted out the bills

E                                       A                B
What a thrill I got when I sat behind the wheel

E
I opened up the glove box and that's when I found the note

A                                                            B
E
The date was nineteen sixty-six and this is what he wrote


CHORUS

   C#m          B          A           B
My name is private Andrew Malone

   C#m              B               A                    B
If your reading this then I didn't make it home

             B                             C#m        A
B
But for every dream that's shatered another one comes true

         A                        A                               B
B
This car was once a dream of mine now it belongs to you

        E                         B                    A
B
And though you may take her and make her your own

           A              A    B          B          (repeat intro)
You'll always be riding with private malone


VERSE 2

E
It didn't take me long at all I had her runnin' good

A
I loved to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood

E
I had her shinin' like a diamond and I'd put the rag top down

            A                                                            B
E
All the pretty girls would stop and stare as I drove her thruogh town


        C#m                                     B
The buttons on the radio didn't seem to work quite right

       E                                                    A
B
But it picked up that oldies show especially late at night

     E
I'd get the feelin' sometimes if I turned real quick I'd see

     A                                             B
E
A soldier riding shotgun in the seat right next to me


CHORUS

              C#m                        B           A           B
It was a young man named private Andrew Malone

         C#m               B                  A                     B
Who fought for his country and never made it home

             B                             C#m                     A
B
But for every dream that's shatered there's another that comes true

         A                         A                   B
B
This car was once a dream of his back when it was new

             E               B                     A                    B
And he told me to take her and make her my own

                  A                  A    B         B          (repeat
intro)
And I was proud to be riding with private malone


VERSE 3

A                          A                  B                         B
One night it was raining hard I took a curb to fast

E                                            A                        B
I still don't remember much about that firey crash

E
Someone said they thought they saw a soldier pull me out

A                                                B                        E
They didn't get his name but I know without a doubt


CHORUS

              C#m                        B           A           B
It was a young man named private Andrew Malone

         C#m               B                  A                     B
Who fought for his country and never made it home

             B                          C#m                  A
B
But for every dream that shaters there's another that comes true

         A                        A                   B
B
This car was once a dream of his back when it was new

          E                        B                   A
B
And I know I wouldn't be here if he hadn't tagged along

                 A                A    B          B          (repeat intro)
Yeah that night I was riding with private malone

                A               A    B         B          (repeat intro)
Oh thank god I was riding with private malone

E
Private malone....
