[Bb] I was by the river in a little old tent
[Cm]
Just like that river [Gm] I've been
[Bb] running ever since
It's been a long, such a [Cm] long time coming
But I know [D]
a [Gm] change gonna come
[Bb] Oh yes it will
It's been too hard living
For I'm not afraid to die
[Cm]
Now I know what's up there [Gm]
beyond that sky
It's [Bb] been a long, such [Gm] a long time coming
But I know [D] a [Gm]
change gonna come
[G] Anybody [Bb] believe that?
When I go to the movies
When I go downtown
[Cm]
Somebody keep telling me boy
[Gm]
[Bb] Don't you hang around
It's been a long, such [Cm] a [Cm] long time coming
But I know [Dm] a [Gm]
change gonna come
[Bb] Oh yes it will
[Eb] When [Bb] [Cm]
I go downtown
To see [Gm]
my brother
Go see my brother
[Cm]
Oh I asked my brother
[Dm] Oh won't you help me please
[Cm]
He turned me down, turned me down
So I went [Gm] to see my mother
[Bb] I [C] said mother
Mother I'm running out [Bb] of time
When I thought [G] [Bb]
it's too late to go back home
[Cm]
I think I'm able, [Gm]
able to carry on
[Bb] It's been a long, such a long [Cm]
time coming
But I know [D] a [Gm]
change gonna come
It's been [Bb] a long, such a long time [Cm]
coming
Thank [D] [Gm]
[Bb]
you
[N]
very much y'all
