A CHANGE IS GONNA COME- Sam Cooke
E E7
I was born by the river in a little tent
A Cm B
And just like that river I`ve been running ever since
E A
It`s been a long time coming
G Cm 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:
Fm Cm
And then I go to see my brother
Fm Cm
And I ask him to help me please
Fm Cm
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.
