Riding With Private Malone chords by Nathan Carter

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
G+G
I was just out of the service thumbin' through the classifieds
C majorC
When an ad that said old Chevy somehow caught my eye
G+G
The lady didn't know the year or even if it ran
C majorC             D MajorD      G+G
But I had that thousand dollars in my hand

G+G
It was way back in the in corner of this old ramshackle barn
C majorC
With thirty years of dust and dirt on that green army tarp
D MajorD                C majorC
When I pulled the cover off it took away my breath
C majorC                D MajorD      G+G
What she called a Chevy was a sixty-six corvette
A minorAm             D MajorD
I felt a little guilty as I counted out the bills
G+G             C majorC        D MajorD
What a thrill I got when I sat behind the wheel
G+G
I opened up the glove box and that's when I found the note
C majorC                  D MajorD        G+G
The date was nineteen sixty-six and this is what he wrote

Chorus:
  E minorEm    D MajorD   C majorC    D MajorD
My name is private Andrew Malone
  E minorEm      D MajorD      C majorC       D MajorD
If your reading this then I didn't make it home
     B minorBm        E minorEm    A minorAm       D MajorD
But for every dream that's shattered another one comes true
   C majorC                D MajorD
This car was once a dream of mine now it belongs to you
   E minorEm      D MajorD      C majorC      B minorBm
And though you may take her and make her your own
A minorAm         D MajorD        G+G
You'll always be riding with private Malone

Verse 2:
G+G
It didn't take me long at all I had her runnin' good
C majorC
I loved to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood
G+G
I had her shinin' like a diamond and I'd put the rag top down
      C majorC                  D MajorD        G+G
All the pretty girls would stop and stare as I drove her through town
    A minorAm           D MajorD
The buttons on the radio didn't seem to work quite right
   G+G                C majorC        D MajorD
But it picked up that oldies show especially late at night
 G+G
I'd get the feelin' sometimes if I turned real quick I'd see
   C majorC              D MajorD         G+G
A augmentedA soldier riding shotgun in the seat right next to me

Chorus:
     E minorEm        D MajorD   C majorC   D MajorD
It was a young man named private Andrew Malone
   E minorEm      D MajorD      C majorC      D MajorD
Who fought for his country and never made it home
     B minorBm         E minorEm       A minorAm         D MajorD
But for every dream that's shattered there's another that comes true
   C majorC              D MajorD
This car was once a dream of his back when it was new
    E minorEm     D MajorD      C majorC     B minorBm
And he told me to take her and make her my own
A minorAm           D MajorD         G+G
And I was proud to be riding with private Malone

Verse 3:
A minorAm               D MajorD
One night it was raining hard I took a curb to fast
G+G               C majorC       D MajorD
I still don't remember much about that fiery crash
G+G
Someone said they thought they saw a soldier pull me out
C majorC               D MajorD        G+G
They didn't get his name but I know without a doubt

Who fought for his country and never made it home
     B minorBm       E minorEm       A minorAm        D MajorD
But for every dream that shatters there's another that comes true
   C majorC              D MajorD
This car was once a dream of his back when it was new
    E minorEm      D MajorD       C majorC       B minorBm
And I know I wouldn't be here if he hadn't tagged along
A minorAm           D MajorD         G+G
Yeah that night I was riding with private Malone
A minorAm          D MajorD          G+G
