D                                            Gm
Christina the Astonishing lived a long time ago
        Gm                                           D
She was stricken with a seizure at the age of twenty-two
     D                                             Gm
They took her body in a coffin to a tiny church in Liege
          Gm                                              D
Where she sprang up from the coffin, just after the Agnus Dei
    D                                              Gm
She soared up to the rafters, perched on a beam up there
           Gm
Cried "The stink of human sin, the stink of human sin
    Eb                       D
The stink Is more that I can bear"

    Eb  Bb  Ab              Gm
    Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh oh
    Eb  Bb  Ab              Gm
    Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh oh
    Eb  Bb  Ab              Gm     D
    Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh oh, oh

D                                                     Gm
Christina the Astonishing was the most astonishing of all
    Gm                                              D
She prayed balanced on a hurdle or curled up into a ball
    D                                                   Gm
She fled to remote places, climbed towers and trees and walls
   Gm
To escape the stench of corruption, the stench of human corruption
Eb                   D
Into an oven she did crawl

    Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh oh
    Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh oh
    Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh oh, oh

D                                                 Gm
Christina the Astonishing behaved in a terrifying way
          Gm                                                         D
She would run wildly through the streets Jump in the Meuse and swim away
D                                               Gm
Christina the Astonishing behaved in terrifying manner
    Gm
She died at the age of seventy-four, died at the age of seventy-four
Eb                   D
In the convent of St Anna

    Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh oh
    Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh oh
    Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh oh, oh
