I was born by the river in a little tent

 Oh just like that river I've   been running ever since 
            G       Am7                    C7          B7
It's been a long, a long time coming but I know, oh-oo-oh

 A change is gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die 
Am7                               Em
 Cos I don't know what's out there  beyond the sky 
            G       Am7                    C7          B7

 Somebody keep telling me don't  hang around 
            G       Am7                    C7          B7

Bridge:

Am7                  G6
 Then I go to see my brother 
Am7                       Em
 And I say him to help me please 
Am7                  Em
 And he just winds up  knockin' me 
A9               D7
 Back down on my knees,	Oh

There been times when I thought I couldn't last for long

 But now I think I'm able to  carry on 
            G       Am7                    C7          B7
It's been a long, a long time coming but I know, oh-oo-oh 
Em                          G
 A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
