Sol#
I was born by a river in this little old tent
La#m Fam
Oh just like this river I've been running ever since
Sol# La#m Do#
It's been a long, long time coming
Do7 Fam
But I know, but I know a change is gotta come
Sol#
Oh yes it is On my!
It's been too hard living, oh my
La#m
And I'm afraid to die
Fam
I don't know what's up there
Beyond the clouds
Sol# La#m Do#
It's been a long long time coming
Do7 Fam
But I know, but I know a change is gotta come
Sol#
Oh yes it is On my!
La#m Sol#
There was a time I would go to my brother
La#m Fam La#m
I asked my brother, "Will you help me please?"
Fam
He turned me down and then I ask my dear mother, oh
La#7
I said "Mother!"
Re#
I said "Mother! I'm down on my knees"
Sol#
It's been a time that I thought
La#m
Lord this couldn't last for very long
But somehow I thought
Fam
I was still able to try to carry on
Sol# La#m Do#
It's been a long, long time coming
Do7 Fam
But I know a change is gonna come
Sol# La#m
Oh, yes it is
Sol#
Just like I said, I went to my little bitty brother,
La#m
my littele brother
Fam La#m
I asked my brother "Brother help me please?"
Fam
He turned me down and then I go to my little mother,
La#7
my dear mother
I said "Mother!"
Re#
I said "Mother! I'm down on my knees"
Sol#
But there was a time that I thought
Lord this couldn't last for very long
La#m
But somehow I thought
Fam
I was still able to try to carry on
Sol# La#m Do#
It's been a long, long time coming
Do7 Fam
But I know, but I know a change is gotta come
Sol#
Oh yes it will
Do#
So tired of standing by myself
Do7 Fam Sol#
You know that I know that a change is gotta come...
