Riding With Private Malone Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

E Esus4 E x2

Verse 1

EI was just out of the Esus4service thumbin' tEhrough the classifieds

AWhen an ad that said old Chevy somehow caught my eye

EThe lady didn't Esus4know the year or eEven if it ran

ABut I had that thousand doB7llars in my hEanEsus4d E

EIt was way back in the in Esus4corner of this oEld ramshackle barn

AWith thirty years of dust and dirt on that green army tarp

B7When I pulled the cover off it tAook away my breath

AWhat she called a Chevy was a siB7xty-six corvEette

C♯mI felt a little guilty as I Bcounted out the bills

AWhat a thrill I got when I B7sat behind the wheel

EI opened up the Esus4glove box and that's wEhen I found the note

A B7 E

EThe date was nineteen sixty-six and this is what he wrote

Chorus

 My C♯mname is prBivate AAndrew MaB7lone

 If C♯myour reading tBhis then I dAidn't make it hB7ome

 But for eG♯mvery dream that's sC♯mhattered aF♯mnother one comes Btrue

 This cAar was once a dream of mine now B7it belongs to you

 And tC♯mhough you may tBake her and mAake her your G♯mown

F♯mYou'll always be ridiB7ng with private EMaEsus4lone E Esus4 E

Verse 2

EIt didn't take me Esus4long at all I Ehad her runnin' good

AI loved to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood

EI had her Esus4shinin' like a dEiamond and I'd put the rag top down

 All the pretAty girls would stop and stare as I drB7ove her through tEown

 The buttC♯mons on the radio didn't sBeem to work quite right

 But Ait picked up that oldies show espB7ecially late at night

 IE'd get the feelin' Esus4sometimes if I tEurned real quick I'd see

A B7 E

EA soldier riding shotgun in the seat right next to me

Chorus

 It was a yC♯moung man named priBvate AnAdrew MaB7lone

 Who fC♯mought for his cBountry and neAver made it hB7ome

G♯m C♯m F♯m

 BBut for every dream that's shattered there's another that comes true

 This cAar was once a dream of his bB7ack when it was new

 And he C♯mtold me to tBake her and mAake her my G♯mown

F♯mAnd I was proud to be ridB7ing with private MEalEsus4one E Esus4 E

Verse 3

F♯mOne night it was raining hard I tB7ook a curb to fast

EI still don't remember much abAout that fiery B7crash

ESomeone said they Esus4thought they saw a Esoldier pull me out

A B7 E

EThey didn't get his name but I know without a doubt

Chorus

 It was a yC♯moung man named prBivate AnAdrew MaB7lone

 Who fC♯mought for his cBountry and nAever made it hB7ome

 But for eG♯mvery dream that sC♯mhatters there's F♯manother that comes Btrue

 This cAar was once a dream of his bB7ack when it was new

 And I kC♯mnow I wouldn't Bbe here if he hAadn't tagged aG♯mlong

F♯mYeah that night I was ridB7ing with private MaEloEsus4ne E

F♯mOh thank God I was ridB7ing with private MalEonEsus4e E Esus4 E

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.
