A Change Is Gonna Come chords by Sam Cooke (Ver. 3)

In a little tent
Cm
Oh, and just like the river, I've been runnin'
Gm
Ever since

A long time comin', but I know
Gm
A change gon' come
Bb7
Oh, yes it will

VERSE TWO:
Bb
It's been too hard livin'
Bb                  Cm
But I'm afraid to die
Gm
'Cause I don't know what's up there
Gm
Beyond the sky



CHORUS:
Bb
It's been a long
Cm            Eb D
A long time comin', but I know
Gm
A change gon' come

Oh, yes it will

Bb
I go to the movie
Bb              Cm

Somebody keep tellin' me "don't hang around"

Knockin' me
C7               F
Back down on my knees

I couldn't last for long

But now I think I'm able to
Gm
Carry on

It's been a long

A change gon' come
