Live From San Fansisco
 
Intro:  G5  C5  (4x) 
 
G5                  C5 
Got a song about a soldier 
G5                    C5 
Ridin somewhere on a train 
G5                          C5 
Empty sleeve pinned to his shoulder 
G5                         C5 
And some pills to ease the pain 
 

F5                     C5 
Started drinkin in El Paso 
F5                   C5 
He was drunk by San Antone 
F5                          C5 
Tellin strangers who were sleepin 
G5                D5 
How he hated goin home 
 
CHORUS 1: 
C5                      G5 
Just a simple song of freedom 
C5                    G5 
He was never fightin for 
C5                               G5 
No one's listenin 'til you need 'em 
F5                C5                A5 
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
