A Change Is Gonna Come

F9  Eb9 D7

[Verse 1]
      G
I was born by the river, in a little
 tent,
       Am7                         
Oh and, just like that river, I've,
              Em
 been running, ever since.
            G         Am7     
It's been a long... a long time 
                C7          B7
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                               
 'Cos I don't know what's out 
  Em
there, beyond the sky.

[Verse 3]
  G
I go to the movie and I go downtown,
Am7                              
 Somebody keep telling me; don't, 
Em
hang around.
            G         Am7     
It's been a long... a long time 
                C7          B7
coming, but I know, oh-oh-oh,
Em                           G

[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     
It's been a long... a long time 
                C7          B7
coming, but I know, oh-oh-oh,
Em                           G
 A change is gonna come, oh, yes it 
will.
