A Change's Gonna Come chords

Sam Cooke

Key: 

Simplify chords 

  			E           E7  
I was born by the river in a little tent  
     A                              C#m           B  
And just like that river I've been running ever since  
             E          A  
It's been a long time coming  
       G#                    C#m   A  B       E  
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  
 F#             B      B7  
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.
