Taken from "Broken Freedom Song: Live From San Fansisco," so it might be a

different version. Corrections welcome.

Intro: G7 C (4x)

G7 C

Got a song about a soldier

G7 C

Ridin somewhere on a train

G7 C

Empty sleeve pinned to his shoulder

G7 C

And some pills to ease the pain

F C

Started drinkin in El Paso

F C

He was drunk by San Antone

F C

Tellin strangers who were sleepin

G7 D7

How he hated goin home

CHORUS 1:

C G7

Just a simple song of freedom

C G7

He was never fightin for

C G7

No one's listenin 'til you need 'em

F C Am

Ain't no fun to sing that song no 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
