[Vers]
 
      C                  C
I was born by the river,   in a little tent,
Dm                                Am
 just like the river I've been running ever since
                 C                 Dm            F   E7
     It's been a long, a long time coming, but I know
  Am                              C      Csus4  C
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
 
 
     C                     C
It's been too hard living,   but I'm afraid to die
Dm                           Am
I don't know what's up there   beyond the sky,
            C         Dm          F   E7
It's been a long time coming, but I know
  Am                              C      Csus4  C
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
 
 
     C            C
I go to the movie   and I go downtown
Dm                                Am
Somebody always tellin' me: don't hang around
            C                 Dm            F   E7
It's been a long, a long time coming, but I know
  Am                              C      Csus4  C
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Dm
  Now I go
          Am
to see my brother
      Dm
I say brother,
        Am
help me please
       Dm
But he wind up
  Am
a-knocking me
D7              Gadd4   G7
back down on my knees
 
 
[Verse]
 
           C                    C
There been times that I thought   I couldn't last for long
Dm                      Am
Now I think I'm able to carry on
            C                 Dm            F   E7
It's been a long, a long time coming, but I know
  Am                              C      Csus4  C
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
              I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh, and like that river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is

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

I go to the movies and I go around in town
Everybody there keeps telling me don't hang around
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is

Then I go to my brother
And I say brother, please
But he just winds up, knocking me
Back down on my knees

Sometimes I thought I wouldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is
