Introduction:

E  
I was just out of the service thumbin' through the classifieds
                     A2  
When an ad that said "Old Chevy" somehow caught my eye
E  
The lady didn't know the year or even if it ran
                A                                            B                                 E  
But I had that thousand dollars in my hand
E  
It was way back in the corner of this old ramshackle barn
             A2  
With thirty years of dust and dirt on that green army tarp
          B                                                                                 A  
And when I pulled the cover off, it took away my breath
A                                                                            B                              E  
What she called a Chevy was a Sixty-Six Corvette
                C#m                                                            B  
And I felt a little guilty as I counted out the bills
E                                                                    A                                    B  
What a thrill I got when I sat behind the wheel
E  
I opened up the glove box and that's when I found the note
          A2                                                                      B                                         E  
The date was Nineteen Sixty-Six and this is what he wrote
  1)
                             C#m            B                 A                    B  
He said my name is Private Andrew Malone
                  C#m                              B                            A                                    B  
And if you?re reading this then I didn't make it home
                     G#m                                         C#m                      A                                         B  
But for every dream that's shattered, another one comes true
             A                                                                                      B  
This car was once a dream of mine, now it belongs to you
          E                                    B                              A                                 B  
And though you may take her and make her your own
                  A                            B                                            E  
You'll always be riding with Private Malone
Well, it didn't take me long at all, I had her runnin' good
C#m                                                                              B  
One night it was raining hard, I took a curb to fast
          E                                                                         A                                      B  
And I still don't remember much about that fiery crash
E  
Someone said they thought they saw a soldier pull me out
             A                                                                 B                                    E  
They didn't get his name but I know without a doubt
It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone
