[Verse 1]
A E
The old colonel was a veteran
Fm Fm7
Each night he'd take his medicine
A E
And stay up watching Letterman
Fm
Trying to forget
A E
The things he saw when he was young
Fm Fm7
The carnage and the sound of guns
A E
He kept his pain from everyone
Fm
With the ink inside his pen
[Chorus]
A
The colonel kept a journal of his troubles and regrets
E
His battles were internal, raging wars inside his head
Fm
'Til the end, he was a soldier
Fm7
'Cause the fight was never over
A
The colonel kept a journal and he left it in a box
E
Buried in the basement underneath some dirty socks
Fm7
´Til the end, he was a soldier
A E
'Cause the fight was never over
[Verse 2]
A E
And the day he died, his kids flew in
Fm Fm7
Took some time just to remember him
A E
They cleaned up his old medicine
Fm
As everybody wept
A E
They were packing up the cellar
Fm Fm7
When they found his diary, read it and
A E
Couldn't believe the things he said
Fm
With the ink inside his pen
[Chorus]
A
The colonel kept a journal of his troubles and regrets
E
His battles were internal, raging wars inside his head
Fm
'Til the end, he was a soldier
Fm7 E
'Cause the fight was never over
A
The colonel kept a journal and he left it in a box
E
Buried in the basement underneath some dirty socks
Fm7
'Til the end, he was a soldier
A E
'Cause the fight was never over
[Bridge]
A E Fm
Mmmm-mmm
A E Fm7

[Verse 3]
A E
The old colonel was a veteran
Fm Fm7
My granddad, and a gentleman
A E
I'll always remember him
Fm
Oh, I swear I won´t forget
A E
The things he saw when he was young
Fm Fm7
The carnage and the sound of guns
A E
And the pain he kept from everyone
Fm
With the ink inside his pen
[Chorus]
A
The colonel kept a journal of his troubles and regrets
E
His battles were internal, raging wars inside his head
Fm
´Til the end, he was a soldier
Fm7 E
'Cause the fight was never over
A
The colonel kept a journal and he left it in a box
E
Buried in the basement underneath some dirty socks
Fm Fm7
´Til the end, he was a soldier
A E
'Cause the fight was never over
[Outro]
A E Fm
Mmmm-mmm
