Broken Freedom Song
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 1st fret
[Intro]
| A | D | A | D |
| A | D | A | D |
[Verse 1]
A D
Got a song about a soldier,
A D
Ridin' somewhere on a train
A D
Empty sleeve pinned to his shoulder
A D
And some pills to ease the pain
D A
Started drinkin' in El Paso,
D A
He was drunk in San Antone,
D A
Tellin' strangers who were sleepin'
B7 E
How he hated goin' home
[Chorus]
D A
Just a simple song of freedom,
D A
He was never fightin' for,
D A
No one's listenin' when you need 'em,
D E D
Ain't no fun to sing that song no more.
[Verse 2]
A D
Got a song about a sister,
A D
Waitin' somewhere by the phone,
A D
For some man who never missed her,
A D
Ever since he come and gone
D A
And it's harder for a woman,
D A
With a baby on the way,
D A
That's the price of bein' human,
B7 E
When you're poor enough to pay,
[Chorus]
D A
So she listens to the freedom,
D A
In the silence at her door
D A
No one's missin' till you need 'em
D E A
Ain't no fun to sing that song no more
[Verse 3]
A D
Got a song about a Savior,
A D
Lookin' lonesome and afraid,
A D
At a city full of strangers,
A D
And a cross He never made
D A
And He's sadder than He's wiser,
D A
And a longer way from home,
D A
And He wonders why His Father,
B7 E
Left Him bleeding and alone.
[Outro]
D A
Just a broken song of freedom,
D A
And the closing of a door,
D A
No one's missin' till you need 'em
D E D
Ain't no fun to sing that song no more.
