Little Colonel

 E           Am           E  
Dear little devil, how's tricks 
          Am
these days?
E         Am           E        
I didn't write, didn't know what
     Am
 to say
 C            G            C     
Do you still sleep with the sun 
        E
in your face?
 E              Am            E  
Sheets wet from fever dreams 
       Am
force you awake


[Verse 2]
E             Am          E     
Dear little colonel, one foot in
     Am
 the grave
E            Am           E      
Fighting the war with an unsteady
  Am
 aim
C            G       C          
Is that the goal, to create your
    E
 crusade
       E          Am        E    
With nothing for no one, so no 
       Am
one is saved
   Am
Or safe?


[Chorus]
F                G
You never really say you will
Am
But never say you won't
 F                    G
The world must be a funny place
 Am              C
When you can't let go
     F               G            
You can't ask for forgiveness if 
     C           Am
you think you must atone
      E          Am
For what you know


[Verse 3]
E             Am       E        
Dear little valentine, how is 
    Am
your nose?
E            Am          E      
Keeping it clean? I sure doubt, 
     Am
but I hope
C            G             C    
How is your head, mister? How 
        E
are your toes?
E             Am           E    
Do you still miss me when nights
         Am
 get too cold?


[Chorus]
F               G
You never really say you do
Am
But never say you don't
F                     G
The world must be an awful place
Am                 C
When you can't let go
     F                    G       
You can't see what you're made of 
       C                  Am
if you think you're made of stone
    E        Am
And all alone


F                   G
And every time you say you will
Am
You prove to me you won't
F                      G
Your world was such a lovely place
Am              C
Still, I can't let go
   F                     G        
I can't see what you're made of 
         Am             C
when you think you must atone
    E            Am
For what you know
     E      Am
And what you don't
