I was born by the river 
  
In a little tent 
Dm                        Am 
And just like river, baby 
  
I've been running ever since
[Refrão]
             C 
It's been a long 
           Dm 
Long time coming 
        F E  Am 
And I know 
  
Change is gonna come
[Estrofe]
           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
[Refrão]
             C 
It's been a long 
           Dm 
Long time coming 
        F E  Am 
And I know 
  
Change is gonna come
[Estrofe]
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!
[Estrofe]
               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
[Refrão]
             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
