G7
[Vers]
C C
I was born by the river, in a little tent,
Dm Am
just like the river I've been running ever since
C Dm F E7
It's been a long, a long time coming, but I know
Am C Csus4 C
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
C C
It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
Dm Am
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky,
C Dm F E7
It's been a long time coming, but I know
Am C Csus4 C
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
C C
I go to the movie and I go downtown
Dm Am
Somebody always tellin' me: don't hang around
C Dm F E7
It's been a long, a long time coming, but I know
Am C Csus4 C
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
[Chorus]
Dm
Now I go
Am
to see my brother
Dm
I say brother,
Am
help me please
Dm
But he wind up
Am
a-knocking me
D7 Gadd4 G7
back down on my knees
[Vers]
C C
There been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
Dm Am
Now I think I'm able to carry on
C Dm F E7
It's been a long, a long time coming, but I know
Am C Csus4 C
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
