[D] [G] [D]
[G] [D] Well, I was born by [G] a river [D]
in a little old tent
[Em] Oh, and just like that river [Bm] I've been running ever since
[A]
[D] It's been a long,
[Em] [G] long time coming
[D#m] But I know [Bm] change is gonna come
[A]
[D] And it's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
[Em] [D]
[Em] Cause I don't know what's up [Bm] there beyond the sky
[A] It's [D] been a long, [G] [D]

I couldn't last too long
[Em] Somehow I was [G] able [Bm] to try to carry on
