Chords with lyrics
Capo III
A minorAm
I was born by a river in a little tent
E minorEm
And just like this river I've been running ever since
A minorAm
It's been a too long, too long time a coming.
G+G
But I know a change gonna come, oh, yes, it is
A minorAm
It's been too hard living and I'm afraid to die
E minorEm
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
A minorAm
It's been a long time, a long time a coming
A minorAm
But I know, Lord, I know a change gonna come, Lord Yeah, yes
A minorAm
And then I went to see my brother, oh yeah
A minorAm
I said, "Brother, help me, please", he turned me down
A7A7
And then I went, I went to see my sweet mother
D7D7
I said, "Mama, mama I'm down on my knees"
A minorAm
It's been too hard living and I'm afraid to die
E minorEm
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
A minorAm
It's been a long, long time a coming
G+G
