                G                                         G7  
I was born by the river in a little tent
Am                                                                                                              Em  
     And just like that river I've been running    ever since
                                G         Am7  
It's been a long a long time coming
                C  B7Em                                                                                G  
But I know              a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
                          G                                      G7  
It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
Am                                                                                         Em  
     Cause I don't know what's out there    beyond the sky
                                G                 Am  
It's been a long, a long time coming
                C  B7Em                                                                          G  
But I know         a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
     G                                      G7  
I go to the movies, and I go downtown,
Am                                                                      Em  
     Somebody keep telling don't      hang around,
                                G                 Am  
It's been a long, a long time coming
                  C  B7Em                                                                          G  
But I know            a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
Am                                                                 G  
        And then I go to see my brother
Am                                                            G  
        And I ask him to help me please
Am                                            Em  
        But he winds up knockin' me
A7                                            D  
        Back down on my knees
                                     G                                                                 G7  
There've been times I thought I couldn't      last for long
Am                                                                 Em  
        But now I think I'm able      to carry on
                                G              Am  
It's been a long, a long time coming
                  C  B7Em                                                                          G  
But I know            a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
