Chords for JAC ROSS - "A CHANGE IS GOING TO COME" SAM COOKE COVER

_ _ _ _ _ _
I was born _ by the river in _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
a little old tent. _
_ Oh, [Bm] just like the river I've been running _
_ [F#] ever [F#m] _ _ _
_ since. _ _
It's been [E] a _ _ _ _ long, _ _ [A] long [Bm] time coming.
_ But [C#] I know _ [F] _
[F#m] change is gonna come.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [A] Oh, yes it will. _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ [A] It's been too _ hard a living _ [F#m] _ _ _
and I'm afraid to _ die.
_ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ I don't know what's up _ there _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ [E] beyond the sky.
_ It's [A] been a _ [E] _ _ long, _ _ _ long [Bm] time coming.
_ But I [C#] _
know [F] _ [F#m] a change is gonna come. _ _
_ [Bm] _ Oh, [A] yes it will. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And I go to _ the movie _
[F#m] and [A] I go _ _ downtown.
_ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Somebody keep telling me, _ don't [F#m] _ _
_ _ you hang around.
_ It's [A] been a _ _ _ _ _ _
long, _ long [Bm] time coming.
_ But I [C#] _
know [F] _ _ [F#m] a change is gonna come. _ _
_ [Bm] _ Oh, [A] yes it will. _ _ _ _ _
And [F#] _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ then I go _ to [F#m] my brother. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I [Bm] say, brother, _ _ _ oh, brother, _ _ help [F#m] me _
_ [F#] please.
[F#m] Yeah. _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ But then he winds up _ _ [F#m] _ _
knocking me [C#m] _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ [F#] _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ back down on my _ _ _ [A] _
knees.
Oh, _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _
there'll be times [E] _ _
that [A] I thought I _ _ couldn't _ last,
last for long.
_ [C#] _ [B] _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
Somehow I think I'm able [C#] _
_ to [F#m] _ _ _
_ _ carry on. _
_ It's [A] been a _ _ _ _ long, _ _ _ long [Bm] time coming.
_ _ But I [C#] know a _ [F] _ _ [F#m] change is gonna come. _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ Oh, [A] yes it will. _ _ _ _
