A Change Is Gonna Come chords by Shawn James

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

       Em                             Bm
And just like this river I've been running ever since


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

          Bm
But I know a change is gonna come

         D
Oh yes it is

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

                             Bm
I don't know what's up there


Beyond the sky

Chorus:
              D         Em
It's been a long     , long time coming

          Bm
But I know a change is gonna come

         D
Oh yes it is

      There was a time when I went to my brother

 Em                                              Bm
      I asked my brother, "Can you help me please?"

 Em                                         Bm
      He turned me down so I go to my mother, oh

           E                         A
I said "Mother!" I'm down on my knees"


Pre chorus:
                         D
Cause there have been times when I thought

                            Em
That I wouldn’t last so long

                            Bm
But somehow I was able to carry on
