It's [Bb] been a long, a [Cm] long time coming [Eb] but I know [D] [Gm] a change gonna come, [Bb] oh yes it will.
[Gm] [Bb] It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to [Cm] die.

I don't know what's up [Gm] there beyond the sky.
It's been [Bb] a long, a [Cm] long time coming [Eb] but I [D] know [Gm] a change gonna come, oh [Bb] yes it will.
I go to the movie and I go downtown.
[Eb] .
Somebody keep telling me [Gm] .

But he winds [Gm] up knocking me [C] .

Oh [Bb] there been times I couldn't last for long.
[Cm] .
But now I think I'm able [Gm] to carry on.

Oh yes it will.
