Standard (EADGBE)

I was born by the river in a little tent

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

It's been a long a long time coming

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

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

Cause 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

I go to the movies, and I go downtown,

Somebody keep telling don't hang around,

It's been a long, a long time coming

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

And then I go to see my brother

And I ask him to help me please

But he winds up knockin' me

Back down on my knees

There've been times 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 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...
