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
Em G
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will

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
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
Em G
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
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

Back down on my knees
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
Em G
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
