I?m pretty sure these are the correct chords. AND the correct lyrics. ~Brillant?27~ Private Malone ? David Ball Verse: 1 G I was just out of the service thumbin' through the classifieds C When an ad that said old Chevy somehow caught my eye G The Lady didn't know the year or even if it ran C D G but I had that thousand dollars in my hand. G It was way back in the corner of this old ramshackle barn C With thirty years of dust and dirt on that green army tarp D C and when I pulled the cover off, It took away my breath D what she called a Chevy was a '66 Corvette. C D And I felt a little guilty as I counted out the bills G C D but what a thrill I got, when I sat behind the wheel. G I opened up the glove box and that?s when I found the note C D G The date was 1966 this is what he wrote: CHORUS: G D C D He said my name is Private Andrew Malone G D C D and if you?re reading this then I didn't make it home G D C D But for every dream that?s shattered, another one comes true C D this car was once a dream of mine, now it belongs to you G D C D and though you may take her and make her your own G D C D G You'll always be rid-ing with Private Malone. Verse: 2 G Well it didn?t take me long, I had her running good C I loved to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood. G I had her shining like a diamond and I?d put the ragtop down C D G All the pretty girls would stop and stare as I drove her through town G The buttons on the radio didn?t seem to work quite right, C But it picked up that oldies show, especially late at night D C Sometimes I thought that if I?d turn real quick I?d see, D A soldier riding shotgun, in the seat right next to me. Chorus: G D C D It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone G D C D Who fought for his country and never made it home G D C D But for every dream that?s shattered, another one comes true C D this car was once a dream of his, back when it was new G D C D and he told me to take her and make her my own G D C D G And I was proud to be rid-ing with Private Malone Verse: 3 C D One night it was rainin' hard and I took the curve to fast G C D I still don?t remember much about that fiery crash G Someone said they thought they saw a soldier pull me out C D G they didn?t get his name, but I know without a doubt... Chorus: G D C D It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone G D C D Who fought for his country and never made it home G D C D But for every dream that?s shattered, another one comes true C D this car was once a dream of his, back when it was new G D C D And I know I wouldn?t be here if he hadn?t tagged along G D C D G Oh, Thank-God I was rid-ing with Private Malone
