La#
I was born by the river in a little tent
Dom7 Solm
Oh, and just like the river I've been running ever since
La# Dom7 Re# Re7 Solm
It's been a long, a long time coming
La#
But I know a change gon' come, oh yes it will
Dom7
It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
Solm
'Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
La# Dom7
It's been a long, a long time coming
Re# Re7 Solm La#
But I know a change gon' come, oh yes it will
La# Dom7
I go to the movie and I go down town
Solm
Somebody keep telling me don't hang around
La# Dom7
It's been a long, a long time coming
Re# Re7 Solm La#
But I know a change gon' come, oh yes it will
Dom7 Solm Dom7
Then I go to my brother
Solm Dom7
And I say, "Brother, help me please"
Solm Do9
But he winds up knockin' me
Fa7
Back down on my knees
La#
There been times that I thought
Dom7
I couldn't last for long
Solm
But now I think I'm able to carry on
La# Dom7
It's been a long, a long time coming
Re# Re7 Solm
But I know a change gon' come,
La#
oh yes it will
