[E] I was just out of the service thumbing through the classifies [A] when a night that said old Chevy
somehow caught [E] my eye.
The lady didn't know the year or even if it ran but I had that thousand
dollars in my hand.
It was way back in [A] the corner of [E] this old ramshackle barn [A] with 30 years of dust
and dirt on that green army [E] tarp.
When [B] I pulled the cover off [A] it took away my breath.
What she
called a Chevy [B] was a 66 [E] Corvette.
[F#m] I felt a little guilty as [B] I counted out the bills.
[E] What a thrill
I got when [A] I sat [B] behind the wheel.
[E] I opened up the glove box and that's when I found to know [A] the
date was 1966 [B] and this is what he [E] wrote.
He said [C#m] my [E] name is Private [A] Andrew [B] Malone and [E] if you're reading
this then [A] I didn't make [B] it home.
[G#m] But for every dream [E] that shattered [F#m] another one [B] comes true.
[F#m] This car was
once dream of mine [B] now it belongs to you.
[C#m] Though you [B] may [F#m] take [A] her and make her [E] your own.
[F#m] You'll always be [B] riding
[E] with Private Malone.
[B] [E]
Well it didn't take me long at all I had her running good.
[A] I loved to hear those horses thunder
underneath her [E] hood.
I had her shining [A] like a [E] diamond and I'd put the rag top down.
[A] All the pretty girls would stop and
stare as I drove [E] her through town.
[F#m] The buttons on the radio [B] didn't seem to work quite right [E] but it picked up that old
E-show especially [A] [B] late at night.
[E] I'd get the feeling sometimes if I turned real quick I'd see [F#m] a soldier riding shotgun
[B] in the seat right [E] next to me.
It [C#m] was a young man [E] named [A] Private Andrew [B] Malone [C#m] who fought for [B] his country [A] and never [B] made it
home.
[E] [G#m] But for every dream [E] that shattered [F#m] another one [B] comes true.
[F#m] This car was once a dream of [B] his back when it was new.
[C#m] He
told me [B] to [F#m] take [A] her and make her [G#m] my own.
And [F#m] I was proud to be [B] riding with [E] Private Malone.
[F#m] But one night it was [A] raining [B] hard I took
the curb too fast.
[E] I still don't remember [A] much about that [B] fiery crash.
[E] Someone said they thought they saw a soldier pull me
out.
[A] They didn't get his [E] name but I know without a doubt it [C#m] was a young [E] man named [A] Private [B] Andrew Malone [C#m] who fought [B] for his
country [A] and never [B] made it home.
[G#m] But for every [E] dream that shattered [F#m] another [B] one comes true.
[F#m] This car was once a dream of [B] his back
when it was new.
[C#m] And I know I [B] wouldn't be here [A] if he hadn't [G#m] tagged along.
[F#m] Oh thank God I was
[B] riding with [E] Private Malone.
