riding with private malone — текст песни (ball david)

I hope this is accurate....I couldnt find this song anywhere and I know theres gotta be people looking for it.

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 corner of this old ramshakled barn
C
With thirty years of dust and dirt on that green army tarp
D C
and when I pulled the cover off, It took away my breath
D
what she called a chevy was a `66 Corvette
C D
I felt a little guilty as I counted out the bills
G C D
but what a thrill I got when I sat behind the wheel.
G
I opened up the glove box and thats when I found the note
C D G
The date was 1966 this is what he wrote

CHORUS:

G D C D
He said my name is Private Andrew Malone
G D C D
and if youre reading this then I didn`t make it home
G D C D
But for every dream they shattered, another one comes true
C D
this car was once a dream of mine back when it was new
G D C D
and though you may take her and make her your own
G D C D G
You`ll always be rid-ing with Private Malone.

Well it didnt take me long at all I had her runnin` good
I loved to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood
I had her shining like a diamond and I`d put the ragtop down
All the pretty girls would stop and stare as I drove her though town
The buttons on the radio didnt seem to work quite right
but it picked up that oldies show especially late at night
I`d get the feelin` sometimes if I turned real quick I`d see
a soldier ridin` shotgun in the seat right next to me...

REPEAT CHORUS

C D
One night it was rainin` hard and I took the curve to fast
G C D
I still dont remember much about the fiery crash
G
Someone said they thought they saw a soldier pull me out
C D G
they didnt get his name, but I know without a doubt...

REPEAT CHORUS
