 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....
