A Change Is Gonna Come Chords by Leela James

[Verse]
Bb                                         
■  I was born by the river in a little tent
    Cm                               Gm                
And oh just like the river I've been runnin' ever since
Bb               Cm             Eb    
It's been a long ■  a long time comin'
             Gm                    Bb            
But I I know ■  a change gon' come oh yes it will
                                             Cm 
It's been too hard livin' but I am afraid to die
                              Gm                  
'cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
     Bb          Cm                   
It's been a long ■  a long time comin'
Eb      Gm                      Bb            
But I I know a change gon' come oh yes it will


[Chorus]
                                                           Cm
There's been times that I thought I wouldn't last for long oh


[Verse]
              Gm                        
But somehow I think I'm able to carry on
Bb               Cm                   
It's been a long ■  a long time comin'
Eb           D7     Gm               Bb            
But I know I know a change gon' come oh yes it will
Cm                                     
■  And then I go to my mother my mother
Gm        Cm                         Gm            
My mother ■  I said mother Could you help me please
                               Cm
Help me help me please oh yeah ■ 


[Chorus]
    Cm              
She said I'd like to
  Gm                                
I really would but I'm just not able
    C7                   Cm                       
And then I looked around and I was right back down
F                Bb    
Down on my knees ohwoah
                                                      Cm  
There's been times that I thought I wouldn't last for long
              Gm                        
But somehow I think I'm able to carry on
     Bb          Cm             Eb    
It's been a long ■  a long time comin'


[Outro]
      D7   Gm                    Bb               
But I know ■  a change gon' come ■  oh yes it will
