[Intro 1]
[B]

[Verse 1]
[B]Christina the Astonishing
Lived a long time [Em]ago
She was stricken with a seizure
At the age of twenty- [B]two

[Verse 2]
[B]
They took her body in a coffin
To a tiny church [Em]in Liege
Where she sprang up from the coffin
Just after [B]the Agnus Dei

[Verse 3]
[B]
She soared up to the rafters
Perched on a beam up [Em]there
Cried "The stink of human sin
The stink of human sin
The [C]stink is more that I can bear"

[Verse 4]
[B]Christina the Astonishing
Was the most astonishing [Em]of all
She prayed balanced on a hurdle
Or curled up into a [B]ball

[Verse 5]
[B]
She fled to remote places
Climbed towers [Em]and trees and walls
To escape the stench of human
corruption
The stench of human corruption
[C]Into an oven she did[B] crawl

[F][Em][C][G][F][Em][B]

[Verse 6]
[B]Christina the Astonishing
Behaved in a terrifying [Em]way
She would run wildly through the streets
Jump in the Meusse and swim [B]away

[Verse 7]
[B]
Christina the Astonishing
Behaved in terrify[Em]ing manner
She died at the age of seventy- four
Died at the age of seventy- four
[C]In the convent of St [B]Anna
