A CHANGE IS GONNA COME- Sam Cooke

       E (022100@1)         E7I (020130@1)was born by the river in a little tent
     A (x02220@1)                            C#m (x13321@4)         BAnd (x2444x@1)just like that river I've been running ever since
             E (022100@1)        AIt's (x02220@1)been a long time coming
       G# (xx1114@1)                  C#m (x13321@4) A (x02220@1)B (x2444x@1)     EBut (022100@1)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 (244222@1)                   C#mAnd (x13321@4)then I go to see my brother
 F#m (244222@1)                    C#mAnd (x13321@4)I ask him to help me please
 F#m (244222@1)                 C#mAnd (x13321@4)he just winds up knockin' me
 F# (244322@1)           B (x2444x@1)    B7Back (x21202@1)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.
