[INTRO] E Esus4 E x2

[Verse 1]
E Esus4 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 Esus4 E
The lady didn't know the year or even if it ran
A B E Esus4 E
But I had that thousand dollars in my hand

E Esus4 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 B7 E
What she called a Chevy was a sixty-six corvette
F#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 Esus4 E
I opened up the glove box and that's when I found the note
A B7 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
G#m C#m F#m B
But for every dream that's shattered another one comes true
A B
This car was once a dream of mine now it belongs to you
C#m B A G#m
And though you may take her and make her your own
F#m B7 E Esus4 E Esus4 E
You'll always be riding with private Malone

[Verse 2]
E Esus4 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 Esus4 E
I had her shinin' like a diamond and I'd put the rag top down
A B7 E
All the pretty girls would stop and stare as I drove her through town
F#m B
The buttons on the radio didn't seem to work quite right
E A B7
But it picked up that oldies show especially late at night
E Esus4 E
I'd get the feelin' sometimes if I turned real quick I'd see
A B7 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
G#m C#m F#m B
But for every dream that's shattered there's another that comes true
A B
This car was once a dream of his back when it was new
C#m B A G#m
And he told me to take her and make her my own
F#m B7 E Esus4 E Esus4 E
And I was proud to be riding with private Malone

[Verse 3]
F#m B
One night it was raining hard I took a curb to fast
E A B
I still don't remember much about that fiery crash
E Esus4 E
Someone said they thought they saw a soldier pull me out
A B7 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
G#m C#m F#m B
But for every dream that shatters there's another that comes true
A B
This car was once a dream of his back when it was new
C#m B A G#m
And I know I wouldn't be here if he hadn't tagged along
F#m B7 E Esus4 E
Yeah that night I was riding with private Malone
F#m B7 E Esus4 E Esus4 E
Oh thank God I was riding with private Malone


I couldn't find a tab that was quite right so I decided to throw this one together, it
perfect to me. Just listen to the song for the strum pattern and the intro riff and enjoy.
