Chords with lyrics

Verse:
    D MajorD
I was born by the river, oh, in a little tent

    E minorEm               B minorBm
And just like this river I've been running ever since


       D MajorD     E minorEm
It's been a long   , long time coming

     B minorBm
But I know a change is gonna come

     D MajorD
Oh yes it is

It's been too hard living, oh my
            E minorEm
And I'm afraid to die

               B minorBm
I don't know what's up there


Beyond the sky

       D MajorD     E minorEm
It's been a long   , long time coming

Cause there have been times when I thought

But somehow I was able to carry on
