[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.
