Alec Benjamin - The colonels journal

The old c^Aolonel was a v^Eeteran Each ni^Fmght he'd take his m^Fm7edicine And sta^Ay up watching Letter^Eman Tryin^Fmg to forget The th^Aings he saw when he ^Ewas young The carn^Fmage and the sound ^Fm7of guns He ke^Apt his pain from e^Everyone With the ^Fmink inside his pen

The col^Aonel kept a journal of his troubles and regrets His bat^Etles were internal, raging wars inside his head 'Til the e^Fmnd, he was a soldier 'Cause the f^Fm7ight was never over The colo^Anel kept a journal and he left it in a box Buri^Eed in the basement underneath some dirty socks ´Til the end^Fm7, he was a soldier 'Cause the fi^Aght was never o^Ever

And the d^Aay he died, his k^Eids flew in Took some ti^Fmme just to reme^Fm7mber him They clean^Aed up his old medi^Ecine As every^Fmbody wept They were pac^Aking up the ce^Ellar When they fo^Fmund his diary, re^Fm7ad it and Coul^Adn't believe the thi^Engs he said With the i^Fmnk inside his pen

The col^Aonel kept a journal of his troubles and regrets His batt^Eles were internal, raging wars inside his head 'Til the en^Fmd, he was a soldier 'Cause the fi^Fm7ght was never ov^Eer The col^Aonel kept a journal and he left it in a box Bu^Eried in the basement underneath some dirty socks 'Til the ^Fm7end, he was a soldier 'Cause the fi^Aght was never ov^Eer
