[Verse]
      Bb               
I was born by the river
Bb              
In a little tent
Cm7                                  Gm     
Oh and just like the river I've been running
Gm        
Ever since
          Bb    
It's been a long
  Cm7       Eb               
A long time coming but I know
Gm                
A change gon' come
Bb            
Oh yes it will


[Chorus]
     Bb                  
It's been too hard living
    Bb               
But I'm afraid to die
Cm7                           Gm   
'cause I don't know what's up there
Gm            
Beyond the sky
            Bb  
It's been a long
  Cm                     Eb  
A long time coming but I know
Gm                
A change gon' come
Bb            
Oh yes it will
Bb               
I go to the movie
    Bb           
And I go downtown
Cm7                         
And somebody keep telling me
Gm               
Don't hang around


[Verse]
          Bb    
It's been a long
  Cm        Eb               
A long time coming but I know
Gm                
A change gon' come
Bb            
Oh yes it will
Cm7              Bb        
■   Then I go to my brother
Cm7                           Gm     Cm7
■   And I say Brother help me please ■  


[Chorus]
                Gm          C7
But he winds up ■  knockin' me
                F7      
Back down on my knees oh
      Bb                       
There been times that I thought
                    Cm7 
I couldn't last for long
                    Cm7 
But now I think I'm able
Gm         
To carry on
            Bb  
It's been a long
  Cm                     Eb  
A long time coming but I know


[Outro]
Gm                
A change gon' come
Bb            
Oh yes it will
