I was born by the river in a little tent

Bb dm c

And just like that river i've been running ever since

F bb

It's been a long time coming

A dm bb c f

But i know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will



It's been too hard living, but i'm afraid to die

Cos i don't know what's out there beyond the sky

It's been a long, a long time coming

But i know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will



Bridge:

And then i go to see my brother

Gm dm

And i ask him to help me please

Gm dm

And he just winds up knockin' me

G c c7

Back down on my knees



There were times when i thought i couldn't last for long

But now i think i'm able to carry on

It's been a long, been a long time coming

But i know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
