Kris Kristofferson - Good christian soldier

^CNot so long ^G7ago in Okla^Choma The ^G7son of an Okie preacher knelt to ^Cpray ^C7 He said ^FLord I wanna be a Christian ^Csoldier just like you And ^D7fight to build a new and better ^G7day

Now ^Cmany years and ^G7miles from Okla^Choma That ^G7same young Okie boy still kneels to ^Cpray ^C7 But ^Fhe don't pray to be no Christian ^Csoldier anymore He just prays to make it ^G7through another ^Cday^C7

Cause it's ^Fhard to be a Christian soldier ^Cwhen you tote a gun And it ^Fhurts to have to watch a grown man ^Ccry But we're ^Fplayin' cards ^G7writin' home ^Cand havin' lots of ^Amfun ^D7Tellin' jokes and learnin' how to ^G7die

^CYou know the ^G7things I've come to know seem so ^Cconfusing ^G7It's gettin' hard to tell what's wrong from ^Cright ^C7 I can't ^Fseparate the winners from the ^Closers anymore And I'm thinking of just ^G7givin' up the ^Cfight ^C7

Cause it's ^Fhard to be a Christian soldier ^Cwhen you tote a gun And it ^Fhurts to have to watch a grown man ^Ccry But we're ^Fplayin' cards ^G7writin' home ^Cand ain't we havin' ^Amfun ^D7Turnin' on and learnin' how to ^G7die
