Broken Freedom Song Chords

(ver. 1)
Kris Kristofferson
Broken Freedom Song--Kris Kristofferson

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
