       C
I was born by the river
In a little tent
Dm                       Am
And just like river, baby
I've been running ever since

Chorus:
             C
It's been a long
           Dm
Long time coming
        F Em Am
And I know
Change is gonna come

It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
Cause I don't know what's up there, baby
Beyond the sky

Chorus

Dm                      C    Dm
Well, I go down to my brother
And I say
                   Am    Dm
Brother, help me breathe
But he winds up
 Am                   Dm
Knocking me back down
        G
On my knees, yeah

Yeah!

There'd been times where I thought I
Couldn't last for long
Now I think I'm able
To carry on

Chorus:
It's been a long
Long time coming
And I know
Change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
It's been a long
Long time coming
And I know
Change gonna come
Well, it's been a long
Long time coming
And I know
Change is gonna come
Change
I know it, I know it
I know, I know, I know
Change, change gonna come
