 #A CHANGE IS GONNA COME- Sam Cooke
 #
        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.
