Intro
[F9] [Eb9] [D7]
Verse 1
[G]
I was born by the river, in a little tent,
[Am7] [Em]
Oh and, just like that river, I've, been running, ever since.
[G] [Am7] [C7] [B7]
It's been a long... a long time coming, but I know, oh-oh-oh,
[Em] [G]
A change is gonna come, oh, yes it will.
Verse 2
[G]
It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die,
[Am7] [Em]
'Cos I don't know what's out there, beyond the sky.
[G] [Am7] [C7] [B7]
It's been a long... a long time coming, but I know, oh-oh-oh,
[Em] [G]
A change is gonna come, oh, yes it will.
Verse 3
[G]
I go to the movie and I go downtown,
[Am7] [Em]
Somebody keep telling me; don't, hang around.
[G] [Am7] [C7] [B7]
It's been a long... a long time coming, but I know, oh-oh-oh,
[Em] [G]
A change is gonna come, oh, yes it will.
Bridge
[Am7] [G6]
Then I go to my brother,
[Am7] [Em]
And I say; brother, help me please.
[Am7] [Em]
But he winds up, knockin' me,
[A9] [D7]
Back down on my knees, oh...
Verse 4
[G]
There been times when I thought, I couldn't last for long,
[Am7] [Em]
But now I think I'm able to, carry on.
[G] [Am7] [C7] [B7]
It's been a long... a long time coming, but I know, oh-oh-oh,
[Em] [G]
A change is gonna come, oh, yes it will.
