A Change Is Gonna Come
Sam Cooke
I Bbwas born by the river in a little tent
Cm7And just like that river I've been running Gm7ever since
BbIt's been a long time Cm7coming
EbBut D7I know a Gm7change is gonna come, oh Bbyes it will
BbIt's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
Cm7Cos I don't know what's out there Gm7beyond the sky
BbIt's been a long, a lonCm7g time coming
EbBut D7I know a Gm7change is gonna come, oh Bbyes it will
BbI go to the movie And I go down town
Cm7somebody keep telling me don't Gm7hang around
BbIt's been a long, a lonCm7g time coming
EbBut I D7know a Gm7change is gonna come, oh Bbyes it will
Cm7Then I go to my Gm7brother
Cm7And I say brother Gm7help me please
Cm7But he winds up Gm7knockin' me
C7Back down on my F7knees
BbThere were times when I thought I couldn't last for long
Cm7But now I think I'm able to Gm7carry on
BbIt's been a long, a lonCm7g time coming
EbBut D7I know a Gm7change is gonna come, oh Bbyes it will
