Sam Cooke
Capo III
G
G Em
I was born by the river, in a little tent,
Am Em
Oh, and just like that river, I've been running, ever since.
G Am Em
It's been a long, a long time coming,
C B7
but I know, oh-oo-oh,
Em G Em
a change gonna come, oh, yes it will
G Em Am
It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die,
Em
I don't know what's up there; beyond the sky.
G Am Em
It's been a long, a long time coming,
C B7
but I know, oh-oo-oh,
Em G Em
a change gonna come, oh, yes it will

G Em Am
I go to the movie, and I go downtown,

somebody keep telling me; don't, hang around.

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

but I know, oh-oo-oh,
Em G Em Em Am
a change is gonna come, oh, yes it will
Em Am
Then I go to my brother,
Em G Am
and I say “brother help me please”.
Em Em Em Am
And he just winds up; knocking me,
A7 D7
back down on my knees
G Em Am
Oh, there been times when I thought, I couldn't last for long,
Em
but now I think, I'm able to carry on.
G Am Em
It's been a long, a long time coming,
C B7
but I know, oh-oo-oh,
Em G Em G
a change gonna come, oh, yes it will
