A Change is Gonna Come - Sam Cooke
[Verse]
Bb
I was born by the river in a little tent
Cm7 Gm7
And just like that river I've been running ever since
Bb Cm7
It's been a long time coming
Eb D7 Gm7 Bb
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
[Verse]
Bb
It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
Cm7 Gm7
Cos I don't know what's out there beyond the sky
Bb Cm7 Eb D7
It's been a long, a long time coming
Eb D7 Gm7 Bb
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
[Verse]
Bb
I go to the movie And I go down town
Cm7 Gm7
somebody keep telling me don't hang around
Bb Cm7 Eb D7
It's been a long, a long time coming
Eb D7 Gm7 Bb
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
[Bridge]
Cm7 Gm7
Then I go to my brother
Cm7 Gm7
And I say brother help me please
Cm7 Gm7
But he winds up knockin' me
C7 F7
Back down on my knees
[Verse]
Bb
There were times when I thought I couldn't last for long
Cm7 Gm7
But now I think I'm able to carry on
Bb Cm7 Eb D7
It's been a long, a long time coming
Eb D7 Gm7 Bb
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
