Broken Freedom Song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
Got a [G]song
about a soldier[C],[G]
Ridin' some[Gm]where on a [C]train[G]
Empty sleeve [Gm]pinned [G]to his [C]shoulder[G]
And some pills to ease the [C]pain
Started drinkin' in El [G]Paso,[C]
He was drunk in San Ant[G]one,[C]
Tellin' strangers who were [G]sleepin'[A]
How he hated goin' home
[D]

[Verse 2]
[C]
Just a simple song of [G]freedom,[C]
He was never fightin' [G]for,[C]
No one's listenin' when
[G]you need 'em,
[C]Ain't no fun [D]to sing that
song [G]no more.

[Interlude 1]
[C][G]

[Verse 3]
Got a [G]song about a [C]sis[G]ter,
Waitin' somewhere by [C]the phone,[G]
For some man who never [C]missed [G]her,
Ever since he come and gone
[C]

[Verse 4]
And its harder for a wo[G]man,[C]
With a baby on the [G]way,[C]
That's the price of bein' [G]human,[A]
When you're poor enough to [D]pay,
[C]

[Verse 5]
So she listens to the [G]freedom,[C]
In the silence at her [G]door[C]
No one's missin' 'til
[G]you need 'em
[C]Ain't no fun [D]to sing that song
no [C]more

[Interlude 2]
[G][C][G]

[Verse 6]
Got [G]a song about a [C]Sa [G]vior,
Lookin' lonesome and [C]afraid,[G]
At a city full of [C]strangers,[G]
And a cross He never [C]made

[Verse 7]
[C]
And He's sadder than He's [G]wiser,[C]
And a longer way from [G]home,[C]
And He wonders why His [G]Father,[A]
Left Him bleeding and [D]alone.
[C]

[Verse 8]
Just a broken song of [G]freedom,[C]
And the closing of a [G]door,[C]
No one's missin' 'til you [G]need 'em
[C]Ain't no fun [D]to sing that song [C]no more.
