      G                G7                       
I was born by the river in a little tent

Am                                          Em          
  And just like that river I've been running  ever since

            G    Am7       
It's been a long a long time coming

      C B7 Em                              G
But I know      a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

          G               G7
It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die

Am                                  Em    
  Cause I don't know what's out there  beyond the sky

            G       Am
It's been a long, a long time coming

      C B7 Em                            G
But I know    a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

  G               G7
I go to the movies, and I go downtown, 

Am                           Em              
  Somebody keep telling don't   hang around, 

            G       Am
It's been a long, a long time coming

       C B7 Em                            G
But I know     a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

Am                         G
   And then I go to see my brother

Am                       G
   And I ask him to help me please

Am                 Em
   But he winds up knockin' me

A7                 D
   Back down on my knees

              G                         G7
There've been times I thought I couldn't   last for long

Am                         Em
   But now I think I'm able   to carry on

            G      Am
It's been a long, a long time coming

       C B7 Em                            G
But I know     a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
END!!! Fun Fact- The Piano used to play this song, (footage by crackerfarm) was played in such albums such as "Country Was" and "A Carolina Jubilee". It was then auctioned off to raise money for a women's shelter, the proceeds benefiting battered women. Seth also recently donated his own hair to "Wigs for Kids" an organization that gives children with cancer wigs...
