G                      C            G
Well, I heard he was a soldier, 
         D              G
And he fought on the front line. 
          G                     C               G
But he never made it back home, 
                 D             G
He left his life behind. 

G                          C                 G
In a little town, they remember him, 
              D                  G
A hero in their eyes. 
           G                 C               G
But to me, he was just a friend, 
               D             G
And he paid the price. 

G              C                  G
Oh, Private Malone, 
               D                G
You gave your all for the cause. 
G                  C             G
But your memory lives on, 
                D                G
In every heart, every pause. 

G                    C               G
I stand at your grave, 
                  D              G
And I salute you today. 
G              C                 G
Private Malone, 
                D              G
You’re never far away.
