[E]
[G#]
I was born by the river [A]
in a little tent.
[Bm]
Just like that river [F#m] I've been running ever since.
[D]
It's [A] been a long, long [Bm]
time [D] coming.
[C#] But I know [F#] a change is gonna [G] come.
[A] [D]
[A] It's near, [B]
[Bm] but I know.
[D]
I go [F#m] to my brother.
I
[Bm]
say, brother,
[F#m] help me believe.
[Bm] But he just winds up [F#m] knocking me down
[B]
[G#m] on my [E]
knees.

[N]
Whoa!
Adam!
Yo, dude!
Alright, so listen.
That song is an amazing, amazing R&B classic by the [B] great Sam Cooke.
And let me tell you something, man.
What you [E] did just there is you showed that the real reason that you're here,
[Dm] and I've been saying it since day one [N] that you walked in,
you can sing your face off, and that was unbelievable.
That may have been your best performance and interpretation of a song
from the beginning of this competition.
The combination of the high notes,
hold it back and show the emotion in the song,
that's your winning combination using both sides of yourself.
You look like a superstar up there.
And whatever happens, I'm in awe of your talent,
whatever happens with this idol journey,
I know with every fiber of my being, you are gonna be iconic.
Yes, you are.
Paul is sort of sitting on the fence a bit on that one, I think.
Adam, all I would say after that is you are 100% back in the game.
Congratulations. Congratulations.
[F#]
Paul is into the herkies, Simon's wearing buttons,
this is the idol finale for Adam.
What a fight tonight, 1866, Idol 01, or 03, or 05.
[D#] 1866, 436 -5701, or 03, or 05.
You [F#m] can text the word VOTE [F#] to [F#m] 5701.
You'll have four hours to vote at the end of the show.
[F#] Game on, huh?
Game on.
