Broken Freedom Song Kris Kristofferson
Intro: G7, C (x4)
[G7]Got a song about a [C]soldier,
[G7]Ridin' somewhere on a t[C]rain
[G7]Empty sleeve pinned to his sh[C]oulder
[G7]And some pills to ease the p[C]ain
[F]Started drinkin' in El [C]Paso,
[F]He was drunk in San A[C]ntone,
[F]Tellin' strangers who were s[C]leepin'
[G7]How he hated goin' h[D7]ome
Chorus 1:
[C]Just a simple song of f[G7]reedom,
[C]He was never fightin' [G7]for,
[C]No one's listenin' when you need [G7]'em,
[F]Ain't no fun to s[C]ing that song no [Am]more.
[G7]Got a song about a s[C]ister,
[G7]Waitin' somewhere by the p[C]hone,
[G7]For some man who never missed[C] her,
[G7]Ever since he come and g[C]one
[F]And it's harder for a w[C]oman,
[F]With a baby on the w[C]ay,
[F]That's the price of bein'[C] human,
[G7]When you're poor enough to [D7]pay,
[C]So she listens to the f[G7]reedom,
[C]In the silence at her d[G7]oor
[C]No one's missin' till you need [G7]'em
[F]Ain't no fun to s[C]ing that song no [Am]more
[G7]Got a song about a Sa[C]vior,
[G7]Lookin' lonesome and a[C]fraid,
[G7]At a city full of str[C]angers,
[G7]And a cross He never m[C]ade
[F]And He's sadder than He's w[C]iser,
[F]And a longer way from h[C]ome,
[F]And He wonders why His F[C]ather,
[G7]Left Him bleeding and a[D7]lone.
[C]Just a broken song of f[G7]reedom,
[C]And the closing of a d[G7]oor,
[C]No one's missin' till you need [G7]'em
[F]Ain't no fun to s[C]ing that song no [Am]more.
