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

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


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


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