[Verse 1]
A# F
The old colonel was a veteran
F#m F#m7
Each night he'd take his medicine
A# F
And stay up watching Letterman
F#m
Trying to forget
A# F
The things he saw when he was young
F#m F#m7
The carnage and the sound of guns
A# F
He kept his pain from everyone
F#m
With the ink inside his pen
[Chorus]
A#
The colonel kept a journal of his troubles and regrets
F
His battles were internal, raging wars inside his head
F#m
'Til the end, he was a soldier
F#m7
'Cause the fight was never over
A#
The colonel kept a journal and he left it in a box
F
Buried in the basement underneath some dirty socks
F#m7
´Til the end, he was a soldier
A# F
'Cause the fight was never over
[Verse 2]
A# F
And the day he died, his kids flew in
F#m F#m7
Took some time just to remember him
A# F
They cleaned up his old medicine
F#m
As everybody wept
A# F
They were packing up the cellar
F#m F#m7
When they found his diary, read it and
A# F
Couldn't believe the things he said
F#m
With the ink inside his pen
[Chorus]
A#
The colonel kept a journal of his troubles and regrets
F
His battles were internal, raging wars inside his head
F#m
'Til the end, he was a soldier
F#m7 F
'Cause the fight was never over
A#
The colonel kept a journal and he left it in a box
F
Buried in the basement underneath some dirty socks
F#m7
'Til the end, he was a soldier
A# F
'Cause the fight was never over
[Bridge]
A# F F#m
Mmmm-mmm
A# F F#m7
Mmmm-mmm
[Verse 3]
A# F
The old colonel was a veteran
F#m F#m7
My granddad, and a gentleman
A# F
I'll always remember him
F#m
Oh, I swear I won´t forget
A# F
The things he saw when he was young
F#m F#m7
The carnage and the sound of guns
A# F
And the pain he kept from everyone
F#m
With the ink inside his pen
[Chorus]
A#
The colonel kept a journal of his troubles and regrets
F
His battles were internal, raging wars inside his head
F#m
´Til the end, he was a soldier
F#m7 F
'Cause the fight was never over
A#
The colonel kept a journal and he left it in a box
F
Buried in the basement underneath some dirty socks
F#m F#m7
´Til the end, he was a soldier
A# F
'Cause the fight was never over
[Outro]
A# F F#m
Mmmm-mmm
A# F F#m7
Mmmm-mmm
