[N]
Well, it's dark in the city
I've lost my [G] pride
The lights in the streets [F#m] hide the stars from my eyes.
[A] It's been a long
long time coming, [C#] but I [F#m] know
Change [A] is gonna come
And it's too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
[Bm] Cuz [D] I don't know what's up [F#m] there
Just beyond the [A] sky it's been a long long time [C#] coming, but I [F#m] know
The change [A] is gonna come
And I miss my family
my little girl
[Bm] She is my princess.
I'd [E] give her the world.
[A] It's been a long
Long [Bm] time coming, but I know
[F#m] The [A] change is gonna come
[D] I just need some [F#m] comfort [D] some kind of [F#m] belief
[Bm] That this war we're [F#m] fighting
[B] Can really bring [E] some peace There's [A] no
Reason no sweet melody
[F#] More and more weapons [F#m] mean less security
[A] It's been a long
[Bm] long time coming, [C#] but I [F#m] know
[E] The [A] change is gonna come
And I'm trying to find it some better place
[D] We're having the biggest [F#m] gun in some kind of race.
[A] It's been a long
Long [Bm] time coming, [C#] but I know
[F#m] Change [A] is gonna come
There have been times I thought I couldn't last for long
[Bm] But now I think I'm [F#m] able
To carry on [A] it's been a long
[Bm] Long time coming, [C#m] but I know
[B] Change
[D] [A] It's been a long [Bm] long time coming, [C#m] but I [F#m] know
A [A] change gonna come
This change is gonna come
