Good Christian Soldier   Kris Kristofferson






I wonder if someone can put the chords to Kris Kristofferson's song for me.
The lyrics are below.  I cannot find the chords written on any website.
Love your site and use it endlessly.  Thanks

Sure. I've loved and played Kristofferson's songs since he was a pup.
Enjoy.    1Songster.

                          Good Christian Soldier

G               D7           G
Not so long a / go in Okla / homa,  . . .
      D                                     G      G7
The / son of an Oakie / preacher knelt to / pray / . . .
          C                                 G                   
He said / Lord I want to / be a Christian / Soldier, just like / You,
      A7                                  D7
And / fight to build a / new and better / day.

    G              D7              G
Now many years and miles from Oklahoma
     D                                    G      G7
That same young Oakie boy still kneels to pray   . . .
    C                                G          
But he don't pray to be no Christian soldier anymore
        A7               D7               G
He just prays to make it through another day.
            C                                G
'Cause it's hard to be a christian soldier   when you tote a gun
         C                                  G       G7
 And it  hurts to have to watch a grown man cry.    . . .
           C                D7               G                     C
 But we're . playing cards, .  writing home, having lots of fun,    .
                                    D
 Telling jokes and learnin' how to  die.    . . .


               G                    D7               G 
You know the / things I've come to  know seem so con-fusin.
      d                                     g         G7
It's getting hard to tell what's wrong from right.    . .
         C                             G
I can' t separate the winners from the losers anymore
        A7                  D7            G
And I'm thinking about just giving up the fight.
             C                               G
'Cause it's  hard to be a Christian soldier  . when you tote a gun
        C                                   G       G7
And it  hurts to have to watch a grown man  cry.    . .
          C                 D7
But we're . playing cards,  . writing home, 
    G (slowly)             C
And ain't we having fun,   . 
              (softly)         D                          G
Turnin on and  learnin how to  die.   /  ..  how  to   /  die.   .
