A Change Is Gonna Come

Chords

Standard

G                                Am7
I was born by the river in a little tent
                                     Em          
And just like that river I've been running  ever since
            G       Am7       
It's been a long a long time coming
      C Bm7  Em                            G
But I know  a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
Cos I don't know what's out there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

I go to the movies, and I go downtown, 
Sombody keep telling don't hang around, 
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

BRIDGE:
Am7                  G
And then I go to see my brother
Am7                      G
   And I ask him to help me please
Am7                Em
   But he winds up knockin' me
A7                 D
   Back down on my knees

There've been times I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
