I was born by a river in a little tent
Em
And just like this river I've been running ever since
G Am
It's been a too long, too long time a coming.
C Em G
But I know a change gonna come, oh, yes, it is
G Am
It's been too hard living and I'm afraid to die
Em
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
G Am
It's been a long time, a long time a coming
C Em G Am
But I know, Lord, I know a change gonna come, Lord Yeah, yes
Em Am
And then I went to see my brother, oh yeah
Em Am
I said, "Brother, help me, please", he turned me down

And then I went, I went to see my sweet mother

I said, "Mama, mama I'm down on my knees"
G Am
It's been too hard living and I'm afraid to die
Em
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
G Am
It's been a long, long time a coming
C Em G
But I know, but I know a change gonna come, oh, long
