Intro:
 
D G D Bm A G  
A G D Bm A 
 
 
                D               G               D 
Those crazy Christians, I was gonna sleep in today 
           Bm                A                  G 
But the church bells woke me up and they?re a half a mile away 
                D                    G               D 
Those crazy Christians, dressed up drivin? down my street 
            Bm            A                 G 
Get their weekly dose of guilt before they head to Applebee?s 
 
 
        A                           G 
They pray before they eat and they pray before they snore 
        D                               Bm              A 
They pray before a football game and every time they score 
  A                        G 
Every untimely passing, every dear departed soul 
     D                          Bm      A 
Is just another good excuse to bake a casserole 
 
 
Those crazy Christians, go and jump on some airplane 
And fly to Africa or Haiti, risk their lives in Jesus? name 
No, they ain?t the late night party kind 
They curse the devil?s whiskey while they drink the Savior?s wine 
 
A famous TV preacher has a big affair and then 
One tearful confession and he?s born again again 
Someone yells hallelujah and they shout and clap and sing 
It?s like they can?t wait to forgive someone for just about anything 
 
Those crazy Christians 
Instead of being outside on this sunny afternoon 
They?re by the bedside of a stranger in a cold hospital room 
And every now and then they meet a poor lost soul like me 
Who?s not quite sure just who or what or how he ought to be 
They march him down the aisle and then the next thing that you know 
They dunk him in the water and here comes another one of those crazy Christians 
 
They look to heaven their whole life 
And I think what if they?re wrong but what if they?re right 
You know it?s funny, much as I?m baffled by it all 
If I ever really needed help, well you know who I?d call 
Is those crazy Christians
