A Change Is Gonna Come
Sam Cooke
I Bwas born by the river in a little tent
Cm7And just like that river I've been running Gm7ever since
BIt's been a long time Cm7coming
EbBut D7I know a Gm7change is gonna come, oh Byes it will
BIt's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
Cm7Cos I don't know what's out there Gm7beyond the sky
BIt's been a long, a lonCm7g time coming
EbBut D7I know a Gm7change is gonna come, oh Byes it will
BI go to the movie And I go down town
Cm7somebody keep telling me don't Gm7hang around
BIt's been a long, a lonCm7g time coming
EbBut I D7know a Gm7change is gonna come, oh Byes 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
BThere were times when I thought I couldn't last for long
Cm7But now I think I'm able to Gm7carry on
BIt's been a long, a lonCm7g time coming
EbBut D7I know a Gm7change is gonna come, oh Byes it will
