Broken Freedom Song Kris Kristofferson
Intro: G7 C (4x)
[G7]Got a song about a s[C]oldier
[G7]Ridin somewhere on a t[C]rain
[G7]Empty sleeve pinned to his s[C]houlder
[G7]And some pills to ease the [C]pain
[F]Started drinkin in El [C]Paso
[F]He was drunk by San [C]Antone
[F]Tellin strangers who were s[C]leepin
[G7]How he hated goin [D7]home
CHORUS 1:
[C]Just a simple song of f[G7]reedom
[C]He was never fightin [G7]for
[C]No one's listenin 'til you need [G7]'em
[F]Ain't no fun to s[C]ing that song no [Am]more
Got a song about a sister
Waitin lonesome by the phone
For some man who never missed her
Ever since he come and gone
And it's harder for a woman
With a baby on the way
That's the price of bein' human
When you're poor enough to pay
CHORUS 2:
So she listens to the freedom
In the silence at her door
No one's missin 'til you need 'em
Ain't no fun to sing that song no more
Got a song about a savior
Lookin lonesome and afraid
At a city full of strangers
And a cross he never made
And he's sadder than he's wiser
And a longer way from home
And he wonders why his father
Left him bleeding and alone
CHORUS 3:
Just a broken song of freedom
And the closing of a door
No one's missin' til you need 'em
Ain't no fun to sing that song no more
