A CHANGE IS GONNA COME- Sam Cooke

E E7

I was born by the river in a little tent

A C#m B

And just like that river I've been running ever since

E A

It's been a long time coming

G# C#m A B E

But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die

Cos I don't know what's out there beyond the sky

It's been a long, a long time coming

But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

BRIDGE:

F#m C#m

And then I go to see my brother

F#m C#m

And I ask him to help me please

F#m C#m

And he just winds up knockin' me

F# B B7

Back down on my knees

There were times when I thought I couldn't last for long

But now I think I'm able to carry on

It's been a long, been a long time coming

But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

REPEAT VERSE 2

NOTE: I know this song from the Aretha Franklin and Band versions, but I

figure it's only right to post this under Sam Cooke's name.
