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

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