Good Christian Soldier chords by Kris Kristofferson

Chords with lyrics

C majorC      G7G7     C majorC
Not so long ago in Oklahoma

  G7G7                C majorC  C7C7
The son of an Okie preacher knelt to pray

    FF              C majorC
He said Lord I wanna be a Christian soldier just like you

  D7D7               G7G7
And fight to build a new and better day


  C majorC       G7G7       C majorC
Now many years and miles from Oklahoma

   G7G7                 C majorC  C7C7
That same young Okie boy still kneels to pray

  FF                C majorC
But he don't pray to be no Christian soldier anymore

             G7G7       C majorC C7C7
He just prays to make it through another day

      FF               C majorC
Cause it's hard to be a Christian soldier when you tote a gun

    FF                 C majorC
And it hurts to have to watch a grown man cry

     FF       G7G7      C majorC         A minorAm
But we're playin' cards writin' home and havin' lots of fun

D7D7                G7G7
Tellin' jokes and learnin' how to die


C majorC      G7G7                C majorC
You know the things I've come to know seem so confusing

G7G7                     C majorC   C7C7
It's gettin' hard to tell what's wrong from right

    FF               C majorC
I can't separate the winners from the losers anymore

             G7G7      C majorC   C7C7
And I'm thinking of just givin' up the fight


      FF               C majorC
Cause it's hard to be a Christian soldier when you tote a gun

    FF                 C majorC
And it hurts to have to watch a grown man cry

     FF       G7G7      C majorC          A minorAm
But we're playin' cards writin' home and ain't we havin' fun

D7D7               G7G7
