The Christian Life                   The Louvin Brothers

D          A            D       G

My buddies tell me that I should have waited 
D            A         E              A
They say I'm missing a whole world of fun 
D           A             D           G
But I still love them and I say with pride 
G   D       A         D 
I like the Christian life 
I like the Christian life 
A                           G              D
I won't lose a friend while heeding  God's call 
A                           G           A
For what is a friend who'd want you to fall 
D           A            D           G
Others find pleasures in things I despise 
G    D        A         D
I like the Christian life

My buddies shun me since I turned to Jesus 
             A         E              A
They say I'm missing a whole world of fun 
D          A        D           G
I live without them walking the line
G   D       A         D
I like the Christian life
