...A CHANGE IS GONNA COME... by Sam Cooke

*from 'Ain't That Good News' (1964)*

(Original Key: Bb)

Intro:

Verse 1:

I was born by the river, in a little tent,

Oh and, just like that river, I've, been running, ever since.

It's been a long... a long time coming, but I know, oh-oh-oh,

A change is gonna come, oh, yes it will.

Verse 2:

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, oh-oh-oh,

A change is gonna come, oh, yes it will.

Verse 3:

I go to the movie and I go downtown,

Somebody keep telling me; don't, hang around.

It's been a long... a long time coming, but I know, oh-oh-oh,

A change is gonna come, oh, yes it will.

Bridge:

Then I go to my brother,

And I say; brother, help me please.

But he winds up, knockin' me,

Back down on my knees, oh...

Verse 4:

There been 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... a long time coming, but I know, oh-oh-oh,

A change is gonna come, oh, yes it will.
