[G] [Em]
I was born by the river, in a little tent,
[Am] [Em]
Oh, and just like that river, I've been running, ever since.
[G] [Am] [Em]
It's been a long, a long time coming,
[C] [B7]
but I know, oh-oo-oh,
[Em] [G] [Em]
a change gonna come, oh, yes it will
[G] [Em] [Am]
It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die,
[Em]
I don't know what's up there; beyond the sky.
[G] [Am] [Em]
It's been a long, a long time coming,
[C] [B7]
but I know, oh-oo-oh,
[Em] [G] [Em]
a change gonna come, oh, yes it will
[G] [Em] [Am]
I go to the movie, and I go downtown,
[Em]
somebody keep telling me; don't, hang around.
[G] [Am] [Em]
It's been a long, a long time coming,
[C] [B7]
but I know, oh-oo-oh,

[Em] [Am]
Then I go to my brother,
[Em] [G] [Am]
and I say “brother help me please”.
[Em] [Em] [Em] [Am]
And he just winds up; knocking me,
[A7] [D7]
back down on my knees
[G] [Em] [Am]
Oh, there been times when I thought, I couldn't last for long,
[Em]
but now I think, I'm able to carry on.
[G] [Am] [Em]
It's been a long, a long time coming,
[C] [B7]

a change gonna come, oh, yes it will
