D
Christina the Astonishing
Gm
Lived a long time ago
She was stricken with a seizure
D
At the age of twenty-two
They took her body in a coffin
Gm
To a tiny church in Liege
Where she sprang up from the coffin
D
Just after the Agnus Dei
She soared up to the rafters
Gm
Perched on a beam up there
Cried "The stink of human sin
Eb D
The stink Is more that I can bear"
Eb Bb G# Gm
Oh, oh, ohohoh, ohoh- oh oh Rpt
Eb Bb G# Gm D
Oh, oh, ohohoh, ohoh- oh oh, oh
verse 2
D
Christina the Astonishing
Gm
Was the most astonishing of all
She prayed balanced on a hurdle
D
Or curled up into a ball
She fled to remote places
Gm
Climbed towers and trees and walls
To escape the stench of human corruption
D
Into an oven she did crawl
Eb Bb G# Gm
Oh, oh, ohohoh, ohoh- oh oh Rpt
Eb Bb G# Gm D
Oh, oh, ohohoh, ohoh- oh oh, oh
verse 3
D
O Christina the Astonishing
Gm
Behaved in a terrifying way
She would run wildly through the streets
D
Jump in the Meuse and swim away
O Christina the Astonishing
Gm
Behaved in terrifying manner
Died at the age of seventy-four
D
In the convent of St Anna
Eb Bb G# Gm
Oh, oh, ohohoh, ohoh- oh oh Rpt
Eb Bb G# Gm D
Oh, oh, ohohoh, ohoh- oh oh, oh
