[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ [Dm] _ [Cm] _ [Bb] _ _
[Ebm] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _
_ _ [F] _ I was [Bb] born _ _ by the river _ _ _ in a little tent
_ [Eb] Oh, and just like the river I've been running
[Gm] _ _
Ever _ since [Bb] it's been a long, _ _ a [Eb] long time coming
But I _ [D] know _ [Gm] a change gonna come
_ _ [Bb] Oh, yes it will
_ [Gm] It's _ [Bb] been too hard living, _ but I'm afraid to _ _ die
[Cm] _ I don't know what's up [Gm] there _ _ beyond the sky
It's [Bb] been a long, _ _ _ a [Cm] long time coming
But [Eb] I know [D] _ _ [Gm] a change gonna _ come
Oh, yes it [Bb] will
I _ _ _ _ _ go to the movie _ and I go downtown
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _
Somebody keep telling me [Gm] _ don't _ hang around
It's [Bb] been a long, _ _ _ a [Eb] long time coming
But I [D] know _ [Gm] a change gonna come
_ _ [Bb] Oh, yes it will
_ Then _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
I go to [Gm] my brother
_ [Bb] And _ [Eb] _ _ _
I say, brother, help me [Gm] _ _
please
_ _ _ [Cm] But _ he winds [Gm] up _ _ knocking me
_ [C] _ _
Back down on my [F] knees
Lord, _ _ _ [Bb] there been times _ _ _ I couldn't last for _ long
_ [Cm] _ But now I think I'm able _ [Gm] to _ carry on
It's [Bb] been a long, _ _ _ a [Cm] long time coming
But [Eb] I [D] know _ [Gm] a change gonna come
_ Oh, [Bb] yes it will _ _ _ _ _ _ _
