A Change Is Gonna Come

Biography:

The Avett Brothers is an American folk-rock band that originated in Concord, North Carolina. Two brothers, Seth Avett and Scott Avett, formed the group in 2000 after the breakup of the former rock band, Nemo, adding a third member, Bob Crawford. Subsequently, they have been joined by cellist Joe Kwon. The Avett Brothers combine old-time country, bluegrass, punk, pop melodies, folk, rock and roll, honky tonk and ragtime to produce a sound described by the Washington Post as "post civil-war modern rock", or by other reviewers as "grungegrass".

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

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...
