A Change Is Gonna Come

F f7
I was born by the river in a little tent
Bb dm c
And just like that river Ive been running ever since
F bb
Its been a long time coming
A dm bb c f
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

Its been too hard living, but Im afraid to die
Cos I dont know whats out there beyond the sky
Its been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

Bridge:
Gm dm
And then I go to see my brother
Gm dm
And I ask him to help me please
Gm dm
And he just winds up knockin me
G c c7
Back down on my knees

There were times when I thought I couldnt last for long
But now I think Im able to carry on
Its been a long, been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
