A CHANGE IS GONNA COME
As recorded by ARetha Franklin
[Intro]
N.C.
There's an old friend that I once heard say
Somethin' that touched my heart, and it began this way:
[Verse 1]
Bb Cm
I was born by a river in this little old tent
Cm Gm
Oh just like this river I've been running ever since
Bb Cm Eb
It's been a long long, long time coming
Eb D Gm
But I know, but I know a change is gotta come
Bb
Oh yes it is
[Verse 2]
Bb
It's been too hard living, oh my
Bb Cm
And I'm afraid to die
Cm Gm
I don't know what's up there
Gm
Beyond the sky
Bb Cm
It's been a long long, long time coming
Eb D Gm Cm
But I know, but I know a change is gotta come
Bb
Oh yes it is
[Bridge]
Cm Bb
I went to my brother
Cm Gm Cm
I asked my brother, "Will you help me please?"
Cm Gm
He said, "Good sister, I'd like to but I'm not able"
C7
And when I look around
C7 F
I was right back down on my bended knees"
[Verse 3]
Bb
It's been a time that I thought
Bb Cm
Lord this couldn't last for very long
Cm Gm
But somehow I thought I was still able to try to carry on
Bb Cm
It's been a long long, long time coming
Cm Eb D Gm
But I know a change is gonna come
Bb
Oh, yes it is
