[INTRO] EEsus4E x2
[Verse 1] EEsus4E I was just out of the service thumbin' through the classifieds A When an ad that said old Chevy somehow caught my eye EEsus4E The lady didn't know the year or even if it ran ABEEsus4E But I had that thousand dollars in my hand
EEsus4E 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 BA When I pulled the cover off it took away my breath AB7E What she called a Chevy was a sixty-six corvette F#mB I felt a little guilty as I counted out the bills EAB What a thrill I got when I sat behind the wheel EEsus4E I opened up the glove box and that's when I found the note AB7E The date was nineteen sixty-six and this is what he wrote
[Chorus] C#mBAB My name is private Andrew Malone C#mBAB If your reading this then I didn't make it home G#mC#mF#mB But for every dream that's shattered another one comes true AB This car was once a dream of mine now it belongs to you C#mBAG#m And though you may take her and make her your own F#mB7EEsus4EEsus4E You'll always be riding with private Malone
[Verse 2] EEsus4E It didn't take me long at all I had her runnin' good A I loved to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood EEsus4E I had her shinin' like a diamond and I'd put the rag top down AB7E All the pretty girls would stop and stare as I drove her through town F#mB The buttons on the radio didn't seem to work quite right EAB7 But it picked up that oldies show especially late at night EEsus4E I'd get the feelin' sometimes if I turned real quick I'd see AB7E A soldier riding shotgun in the seat right next to me
[Chorus] C#mBAB It was a young man named private Andrew Malone C#mBAB Who fought for his country and never made it home G#mC#mF#mB But for every dream that's shattered there's another that comes true AB This car was once a dream of his back when it was new C#mBAG#m And he told me to take her and make her my own F#mB7EEsus4EEsus4E And I was proud to be riding with private Malone
[Verse 3] F#mB One night it was raining hard I took a curb to fast EAB I still don't remember much about that fiery crash EEsus4E Someone said they thought they saw a soldier pull me out AB7E They didn't get his name but I know without a doubt
[Chorus] C#mBAB It was a young man named private Andrew Malone C#mBAB Who fought for his country and never made it home G#mC#mF#mB But for every dream that shatters there's another that comes true AB This car was once a dream of his back when it was new C#mBAG#m And I know I wouldn't be here if he hadn't tagged along F#mB7EEsus4E Yeah that night I was riding with private Malone F#mB7EEsus4EEsus4E 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.
