[Start]

[Chorus]
F7                F          
■  There's an old friend that
                 Bb
I once heard say ■ 
                       Ebmaj7    Cm7  
Something that touched ■      my heart
                  Fsus4 Fm7
And it began this way   ■  
Bbsus4   Bb       Dm           Gm7
■      I was born by the river ■  
Gm Bbmaj7           Cm7
■  In a little tent ■  


[Verse]
                        Gm
And just like the river ■ 
          Fsus4       F7    Bb
I've been runnin ever since ■ 
                  Bbsus4 Bb7  Ebmaj7      D7
He said it's been a      long time comin' ■ 
      Gm                Gm7       
But I know my change is gonna come
   Bb   Cm7 F7
Oh yeah ■   ■ 
Bb                                   Gm7
■  He said it's been too hard livin' ■  
        Bbmaj7        Cm7
But I'm afraid to die ■  


[Chorus]
Cm7                     
I might not be if I knew
            Gm7  
What was up there
Gm Fsus4      F7  Bb
■  Beyond the sky ■ 
Bb7              Ebmaj7                    D7
It's been a long ■      a long time comin' ■ 
      Gm                            
But I know my change has got to come
Gm7    Bb   Cm
■   Oh yeah ■ 


[Verse]
       Gm                      Cm7
I went ■  I went to my brother ■  
Cm Cm7             Cm      Gm7
■  And I asked him brother ■  
               Gm7      
Could you help me please
Cm7 Cm         Cm7         Cm
■   ■  He said good sister ■ 
Gm7             Gm          Gm7 
■   I'd like to but I'm not able
           C7                  
And when I when I looked around
C7                   
I was right back down
F7                      F
Down on my bended knees ■
F7          
Yes I was oh
Bb            Dm                  
There've been times that I thought
Gm7                  Bbmaj7                 Bb Cm
■   I thought that I wouldn't last for long ■  ■ 
Cm7                   Gm7          
But somehow right now ■   I believe
Gm            Fsus4    F7         
That I'm able I'm able to carry on
Bb        Bb7                     
■  I tell you that it's been along
       Eb                         
And oh it's been an uphill journey
            D7
All the way ■ 
           Gm              
But I know ■  I know I know
       Eb                     
I know my change is gonna come


[Chorus]
Bb Bb7                Eb                
■  Sometimes I had to cry all night long
Eb7       Eb
Yes I did ■ 
Bb7           Eb            Eb7     
■   Sometimes I had to give up right
    Eb7                  
For what I knew was wrong
Bb7                            
Yes it's been an uphill journey
     Eb                     Eb7  
It's sure's been a long way comin
           Bb7
Yes it has ■  
          Bb7      
It's been real hard
                  Bb7
Every step of the way
Eb                     
But I believe I believe
             Bb7              
This evenin' my change is come
