G (320003@1)              G7 (320001@1)                     
I was born by the river in a little tent
Am (x02210@1)                                        Em (022000@1)        
  And just like that river I've been running  ever since
            G (320003@1)  Am7 (x02010@1)     
It's been a long a long time coming
      C (x32010@1)name="chord_x21202@1">B7 Em (022000@1)                            GBut (320003@1)I know      a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

G (320003@1)             G7It's (320001@1)been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
Am (x02210@1)                                Em (022000@1)  
  Cause I don't know what's out there  beyond the sky
            G (320003@1)     AmIt's (x02210@1)been a long, a long time coming
      C (x32010@1)name="chord_x21202@1">B7 Em (022000@1)                          GBut (320003@1)I know    a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

G (320003@1)             G7I (320001@1)go to the movies, and I go downtown, 
Am (x02210@1)                         Em (022000@1)            
  Somebody keep telling don't   hang around, 
            G (320003@1)     AmIt's (x02210@1)been a long, a long time coming
       C (x32010@1)name="chord_x21202@1">B7 Em (022000@1)                          GBut (320003@1)I know     a change is gonna come, oh yes it will



Am (x02210@1)                       G (320003@1)  And then I go to see my brother
Am (x02210@1)                     G (320003@1)  And I ask him to help me please
Am (x02210@1)               Em (022000@1)  But he winds up knockin' me
A7 (x02020@1)               D (xx0232@1)  Back down on my knees

G (320003@1)                       G7There've (320001@1)been times I thought I couldn't   last for long
Am (x02210@1)                       Em (022000@1)  But now I think I'm able   to carry on

Fun Fact-
The Piano used to play this song, (footage by crackerfarm) was played in such
albums such as "Country Was" and "A Carolina Jubilee". It was then auctioned 
off to raise money for a women's shelter, the proceeds benefiting battered 
women. Seth also recently donated his own hair to "Wigs for Kids" an 
organization that gives children with cancer wigs...
