A Change Is Gonna Come

G7


[Vers]

      C                  C
I was born by the river,   in a 
little tent,
Dm                           
 just like the river I've been 
     Am
running ever since
                 C                 
     It's been a long, a long time 
Dm            F   E7
coming, but I know
  Am                              
A change is gonna come, oh yes it 
C      Csus4  C
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          
It's been a long time coming, but 
F   E7
I know

     C            C
I go to the movie   and I go 
downtown
Dm                                
Somebody always tellin' me: don't 
Am
hang around
            C                
It's been a long, a long time 
 Dm            F   E7
coming, but I know
  Am                              
A change is gonna come, oh yes it 
C      Csus4  C
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                
It's been a long, a long time 
 Dm            F   E7
coming, but I know
  Am                              
A change is gonna come, oh yes it 
C      Csus4  C
will
