G G7
i was born by the river in a little tent
Am Em
and just like that river i’ve been running ever since
G Am7
it’s been a long a long time coming
C B7 Em G
but i know a change is gonna come , oh yes it will

G G7
it’s been too hard living , but i’m afraid to die
Am Em
cause i don’t know what’s out there beyond the sky
G Am
it’s been a long , a long time coming
C B7 Em G
but i know a change is gonna come , oh yes it will

G G7
i go to the movies , and i go downtown ,
Am Em
somebody keep telling don’t hang around ,
G Am
it’s been a long , a long time coming
C B7 Em G
but i know a change is gonna come , oh yes it will

Am G
and then i go to see my brother
Am G
and i ask him to help me please
Am Em
but he winds up knockin’ me
A7 D
back down on my knees

G G7
there’ve been times i thought i couldn’t last for long
Am Em
but now i think i’m able to carry on
G Am
it’s been a long , a long time coming
C B7 Em G
but i know a change is gonna come , oh yes it will

end!!!

fun fact –
the piano used to play this song , ( footage by crackerfarm ) was played in such
albums such as “country was” and “a carolina jubilee” . it was then auctioned
off to raise money for a women’s shelter , the proceeds benefiting battered
women . seth also recently donated his own hair to “wigs for kids” an
organization that gives children with cancer wigs . . .
