...A CHANGE IS GONNA COME... by Sam Cooke
*from 'Ain't That Good News' (1964)*
*CAPO 3rd FRET*
(Original Key: Bb)
Intro:
Verse 1:
I was born by the river,
In a little tent,
Oh just like that river,
I've, been running ever since.
It's been a long, a long time coming,
But I know, oh-oo-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-oo-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-oo-oh,
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will.
Bridge:
Then I go to see my brother,
And I ask him to help me please.
And he just 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-oo-oh,
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will.
