A Change Is Gonna Come
Sam Cooke
I Dbwas born by the river in a little tent
Ebm7And just like that river I've been running Bm7ever since
DbIt's been a long time Ebm7coming
GbBut F7I know a Bm7change is gonna come, oh Dbyes it will
DbIt's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
Ebm7Cos I don't know what's out there Bm7beyond the sky
DbIt's been a long, a lonEbm7g time coming
GbBut F7I know a Bm7change is gonna come, oh Dbyes it will
DbI go to the movie And I go down town
Ebm7somebody keep telling me don't Bm7hang around
DbIt's been a long, a lonEbm7g time coming
GbBut I F7know a Bm7change is gonna come, oh Dbyes it will
Ebm7Then I go to my Bm7brother
Ebm7And I say brother Bm7help me please
Ebm7But he winds up Bm7knockin' me
Eb7Back down on my Ab7knees
DbThere were times when I thought I couldn't last for long
Ebm7But now I think I'm able to Bm7carry on
DbIt's been a long, a lonEbm7g time coming
GbBut F7I know a Bm7change is gonna come, oh Dbyes it will
