A
I was born by the river, in a little tent
Bm
And oh, just like that river
F#m
I've been running ever since
A Bm C# F#m
It's been a long, long time coming, but I know
A
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
Bm
It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
F#m
I don't know what's up there, beyond the sky
A Bm D C# F#m
It's been a long, long time coming, but I know
A
A change is gonna come, oh yes
Bm
Now I go to the movies, and I go downtown
F#m
But somebody keeps telling me don't hang around
A Bm D C# F#m
It's been a long, long time coming, but I know
A
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
Bm
Yes, sir
F#m Bm
So now I go to my brother
F#m Bm
And I say, "Brother, help me, please"
F#m B
But somehow, he winds up knocking me
E
Back down on my knees
A Bm
Oh, there were times I thought I wouldn't last for long
F#m
Now I think I'm able, able to carry on
A Bm C# F#m
It's been a long, long time coming, but I know
Bm D C#
A change is gonna come, yes it will, oh, I know
F#m
A change is gonna come
Bm D C#m C#
I said I know
F#m D
A change is gonna come, hey, hey, hey, yeah
C#m F#m
A change is gonna come, right now
D F#m Bm F#m D
