Tom: Am
C
I was born by the river
In a little tent
Dm Am
And just like river, baby
I've been running ever since
[Chorus]
C
It's been a long
Dm
Long time coming
F E Am
And I know
Change is gonna come
[Verse 2]
C
It's been too hard living
Dm
But I'm afraid to die
Am
Cause I don't know what's up there, baby
Beyond the sky
[Chorus]
C
It's been a long
Dm
Long time coming
F E Am
And I know
Change is gonna come
[Verse 3]
Dm C Dm
Well, I go down to my brother
And I say
Am Dm
Brother, help me breathe
But he winds up
Am Dm
Knocking me back down
G
On my knees, yeah
Yeah!
[Verse 4]
C
There'd been times where I thought I
Dm
Couldn't last for long
Am
Now I think I'm able
Am
To carry on
[Chorus]
C
It's been a long
Dm
Long time coming
F E Am
And I know
C
Change is gonna come
Oh yes it will
C
It's been a long
Dm
Long time coming
F E Am
And I know
Change is gonna come
C
Oh yes it will
C
It's been a long
Dm
Long time coming
F E Am
And I know
F E Am
Change is gonna come
F E Am
Change is gonna come
F E Am (Repeat until the end)
