      F                C7                       
I was born by the river in a little tent

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

            F    Dm7       
It's been a long a long time coming

      F E7 Am                              F
But I know      a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

          F               C7
It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die

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

            F       Dm
It's been a long, a long time coming

      F E7 Am                            F
But I know    a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

  F               C7
I go to the movies, and I go downtown, 

Dm                           Am              
  Somebody keep telling don't   hang around, 

            F       Dm
It's been a long, a long time coming

       F E7 Am                            F
But I know     a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

Dm                         F
   And then I go to see my brother

Dm                       F
   And I ask him to help me please

Dm                 Am
   But he winds up knockin' me

D7                 G
   Back down on my knees

              F                         C7
There've been times I thought I couldn't   last for long

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

            F      Dm
It's been a long, a long time coming

       F E7 Am                            F
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...
