Alec Benjamin - The colonels journal

The old c^Colonel was a v^Emeteran Each n^Amight he'd take his m^C7edicine And s^Ftay up watching Letterman T^Frying to forget The t^Chings he saw whe^Emn he was young The c^Amarnage and the^C7 sound of guns He k^Fept his pain from everyone With the i^Fnk inside his pen

The c^Colonel kept a journal of his ^Emtroubles and regrets His ^Ambattles were internal, raging ^C7wars inside his head 'Til the ^Fend, he was a soldier 'Cause the f^Fight was never over The c^Colonel kept a journal and he l^Emeft it in a box B^Amuried in the basement underne^C7ath some dirty socks Til the e^Fnd, he was a soldier 'Cause the f^Fight was never over

On the d^Cay he died, his k^Emids flew in Took some t^Amime just to rem^C7ember him And ^Fcleaned up his old medicine As e^Fverybody wept They were p^Cacking up the c^Emellar when they F^Amound his diary, r^C7ead it and C^Fouldn't believe the things he said With the i^Fnk inside his pen

The ^Ccolonel kept a journal of his t^Emroubles and regrets His ^Ambattles were internal, raging w^C7ars inside his head 'Til the ^Fend, he was a soldier 'Cause the f^Fight was never over The c^Colonel kept a journal and he ^Emleft it in a box B^Amuried in the basement undern^C7eath some dirty socks 'Til the ^Fend, he was a soldier 'Cause the f^Fight was never over
