Good Christian Soldier
Recorded by Kris Kristofferson
Written by Bobby Bare and Billy Joe Shaver

C C G7 G7 C C
Not so long ago in Oklahoma
G7 G7 C C C7 C7
The son of an Okie preacher knelt to pray
F F C C
He said Lord I wanna be a Christian soldier just like you
D7 D7 G7 G7
And fight to build a new and better day

C C G7 G7 C C
Now many years and miles from Oklahoma
G7 G7 C C C7 C7
That same young Okie boy still kneels to pray
F F C C
But he don't pray to be no Christian soldier anymore
G7 G7 C C C7 C7
He just prays to make it through another day

F F C C
Cause it's hard to be a Christian soldier when you tote a gun
F F C C
And it hurts to have to watch a grown man cry
F F G7 G7 C C Am Am
But we're playin' cards writin' home and havin' lots of fun
D7 D7 G7 G7
Tellin' jokes and learnin' how to die

C C G7 G7 C C
You know the things I've come to know seem so confusing
G7 G7 C C C7 C7
It's gettin' hard to tell what's wrong from right
F F C C
I can't separate the winners from the losers anymore
G7 G7 C C C7 C7
And I'm thinking of just givin' up the fight

F F C C
Cause it's hard to be a Christian soldier when you tote a gun
F F C C
And it hurts to have to watch a grown man cry
F F G7 G7 C C Am Am
But we're playin' cards writin' home and ain't we havin' fun
D7 D7 G7 G7
Turnin' on and learnin' how to die
