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       
But I had that thousand dollars 
      E
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                           
What she called a chevy was a 
    B         E
sixty-six corvette

C#m                         B
I felt a little guilty as I counted 
out the bills
E                           
What a thrill I got when I sat 
A           B
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

(refrão)
 C#m        B       A      B
My name is private Andrew Malone
   C#m           B           A   
If your reading this then I 
           B
didn't make it home
             B                     
        C#m        A
B
But for every dream that's shatered 
another one comes true

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

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                           
The buttons on the radio didn't seem
B
 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

         C#m              B    
It was a young man named private 
   A      B
Andrew Malone
     C#m            B           A
Who fought for his country and 
             B
never made it home
             B                     
        C#m                     A

there's another that comes true

B
This car was once a dream of his 
back when it was new
        E          B            A
And he told me to take her and 
            B
make her my own
      A A B B (repeat

And I was proud to be riding with 
private malone

A                 A            B
One night it was raining hard I 
                  B
took a curb to fast
E                            A   
I still don't remember much about
              B
 that firey crash
E
Someone said they thought they saw a
 soldier pull me out
A                               B
They didn't get his name but I 
               E
know without a doubt
