A Change Is Gonna Come chords
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,
             Em
somebody keep telling me; don't, hang around.

      G  Am      Em
It's been a long, a long time coming,
   C      B7
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
