[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

[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
