Riding With Private Malone by Nathan Carter
Riding With Private Malone
[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 in corner of this old ramshackle barn
C
With thirty years of dust and dirt on that green army tarp
D C
When I pulled the cover off it took away my breath
C D G
What she called a Chevy was a sixty-six corvette
Am D
I felt a little guilty as I counted out the bills
G C D
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 nineteen sixty-six and this is what he wrote
[Chorus]
Em D C D
My name is private Andrew Malone
Em D C D
If your reading this then I didn't make it home
Bm Em Am 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
Em D C Bm
And though you may take her and make her your own
Am D G
You'll always be riding with private Malone
[Verse 2]
G
It didn't take me long at all I had her runnin' good
C
I loved to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood
G
I had her shinin' like a diamond and I'd put the rag top down
C D G
All the pretty girls would stop and stare as I drove her through town
Am D
The buttons on the radio didn't seem to work quite right
G C D
But it picked up that oldies show especially late at night
G
I'd get the feelin' sometimes if I turned real quick I'd see
C D G
A soldier riding shotgun in the seat right next to me
[Chorus]
Em D C D
It was a young man named private Andrew Malone
Em D C D
Who fought for his country and never made it home
Bm Em Am D
But for every dream that's shattered there's another that comes true
C D
This car was once a dream of his back when it was new
Em D C Bm
And he told me to take her and make her my own
Am D G
And I was proud to be riding with private Malone
[Verse 3]
Am D
One night it was raining hard I took a curb 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]
Em D C D
It was a young man named private Andrew Malone
Em D C D
Who fought for his country and never made it home
Bm Em Am D
But for every dream that shatters there's another that comes true
C D
This car was once a dream of his back when it was new
Em D C Bm
And I know I wouldn't be here if he hadn't tagged along
Am D G
Yeah that night I was riding with private Malone
Am D G
Oh thank God I was riding with private Malone
