verse 1 

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" 


[Refrão]
 
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 


[Refrão]
 
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 

[Refrão]

Eb  Bb  G#            Gm 
Oh, oh, ohohoh, ohoh- oh oh Rpt 

Eb  Bb  G#            Gm     D 
Oh, oh, ohohoh, ohoh- oh oh, oh
