A Change Is Gonna Come
A Change Is Gonna Come
{Intro:}
[Ab9 Gb9 F7]
{Verse:}
[Bb]
I was born by the river, in a little tent,
[Cm7] [Gm]
Oh and, just like that river, I've, been running, ever since.
{Chorus:}
[Bb] [Cm7] [Eb7] [D7]
It's been a long... a long time coming, but I know, oh-oh-oh,
[Gm] [Bb]
A change is gonna come, oh, yes it will.
[Bb]
It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die,
[Cm7] [Gm]
'Cos I don't know what's out there, beyond the sky.
{Chorus}
[Bb]
I go to the movie and I go downtown,
[Cm7] [Gm]
Somebody keep telling me; don't, hang around.
{Chorus}
{Bridge:}
[Cm7] [Bb6]
Then I go to my brother,
[Cm7] [Gm]
And I say brother, help me please.
[Cm7] [Gm]
But he winds up, knockin' me,
[C9] [F7]
Back down on my knees, oh...
[Bb]
There been times when I thought, I couldn't last for long,
[Cm7] [Gm]
But now I think I'm able to, carry on.
{Chorus}
