CHANGE IS GONNA COME- Sam Cooke

I was born by the river in a little tent

C#m

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

It's been a long time coming

C#m

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

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.
