A Change Is Gonna Come chords

Capo III

[G]I was born by a river in a little tent [Am]
And just like this river [Em] I've been running ever since
It's been a t[G]oo long, too long [Am]time a coming.
But I k[C]now a change gonna [Em]come, oh, yes, it [G]is

[G]It's been too hard living and I'm afraid to die [Am]
I don't know what's up there [Em] beyond the sky
It's been a [G]long time, a long time a [Am]coming

[C]But I know, Lord, I know a c[Em]hange gonna come, Lord [G]Yea[Am]h, yes
And then I went to see my[Em] brother, oh yeah [Am]

I said, "B[Em]rother, help me, please&qu[Am]ot;, he turned me down

And then I went, [Em] I went to see my sweet mother [A7]
I said, "Mama, mama I'm down on[D7] my knees"

It's been t[G]oo hard living and I'm afraid to die [Am]
I don't know what's up there [Em] beyond the sky
It's been a l[G]ong, long time a [Am]coming
But I k[C]now, but I know a [Em]change gonna come, oh, l[G]ong
