Riding With Private Malone Song Lyrics and Chords by David Ball

Riding With Private Malone

Recorded by David Ball

written by Wood Newton and Thom Shepherd

C

I was just out of the service thumbing through the classifieds

When an

F

ad that said old Chevy somehow caught my eye

C

The Lady didn't know the year or even if it ran

But I

F

had that thousand

G7

dollars in my

C

hand

It was way back in the corner of this old ramshackle barn

With

F

thirty years of dust and dirt on that green army tarp

And

G7

when I pulled the cover off

F

it took away my breath

What she called a Chevy was a '

G7

66

Cor

C

vette

And I

Dm

felt a little guilty as I

G7

counted out the bills

But

C

what a thrill I got when I

F

sat behind the

G7

wheel

C

I opened up the glove box and that's when I found the note

The

F

date was 1966 and

G7

this is what he

C

wrote

He said my

Am

name is

G7

Private

F

Andrew

G7

Malone

And if

Am

you're

readin

G7

g this then

F

I didn't make i

G7

t

home

But for

Em

every dream that'

Am

s

shattere

Dm

d another one comes

G7

true

This

Dm

car was once a dream of mine

G7

now it belongs to you

And

Am

though you may

G7

take her and

F

make her your

Em

own

Dm

You'll always be

G7

riding with Private

C

Malone

Well it didn't take me long at all I had her running good

I

F

loved to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood

I

C

had her shining like a diamond and I'd put the ragtop down

All

F

the pretty girls would stop and stare as I

G7

drove her through

C

town

The

Am

buttons on the radio didn'

G7

t seem to work quite right

But it

C

picked up that oldies show

F

especially late at

G7

night

I'd

C

get the feelings sometimes if I'd turn real quick I'd see

A

F

soldier riding shotgun in the

G7

seat right next to

C

me

It was a

Am

young man named

G7

Private

F

Andrew

G7

Malone

Who

Am

fought for his

G7

country and

F

never made it

G7

home

But for

Em

every dream that'

Am

s

shattere

Dm

d another one come

G7

s

true

This

Dm

car was once a dream of his

G7

back when it was new

And

Am

he told me to

G7

take her and

F

make her my

G7

own

Dm

And I was proud to be

G7

riding with Private M

C

alone

F

One night it was raining hard and I

G7

took the curve to fast

C

I still don't remember muc

F

h about that fier

G7

y

crash

C

Someone said they thought they saw a soldier pull me out

They

F

didn't get his name bu

G7

t I know without

C

a

doubt

It was a

Am

young man named

G7

Private

F

Andrew

G7

Malone

Who

C

fought for his

G7

country and

F

d another one come

This

F

car was once a dream of his

G7

back when it was new

And I

C

know I wouldn'

G7

t be here if h

F

e hadn't tag

G7

ged

along

C

That night I was

G7

riding with Private

C

That night I was
