[C] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] I was born by the river _ in a little tent.
Oh, [Am] and just like the river, I've been running [Em] _ ever since.
[G] It's been a _ long, _ [Am] a long time coming,
but I know [B] _
[Em] a change gonna come. _
[G] Oh, yes it will. _ _
It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die.
[Am] _ _ Cause I don't know what's up [Em] there beyond the sky.
[G] It's been a _ long, _ [Am] a long time coming,
but I know [B] _
[Em] a change gonna come.
Oh, [G] yes it will. _ _ _
I go to the movies, and I go _ downtown. _
_ [Am] _ Somebody keeps telling [Em] me, _ don't hang around.
[G] It's been a _ _ long, [Am] a long time coming,
but I know [B] a [Em] _ change gonna come.
[G] Oh, yes it will. _ _ _
[Am] _ _ Then I go to [Em] my brother, _ _
[Am] _ and I say, brother, [Em] help me, _ _ please. _
[Am] _ And he winds up [Em] _ knocking me _
[A] _ back down on my [D]
knees.
[G] Oh, _ [D] [G] there have been _ times when I thought I couldn't _ last for long. _
[Am] _ Now I think I'm able [Em] to _ carry on.
It's been [G] a long, _ [Am] a long time coming,
but I [C] [B] know [Em] a change gonna come. _
[G] Oh, yes it will. _ _ _
