Change is gonna come

(Em F#m Am Dm)

And the skies they opened up

It rained for forty days

For forty nights, we prayed

But it washed my home away

(Am)

Some lost their faith

Some lost their lives

Some lost their eyes

crying for a better day

A change is gonna come

These troubled waters will

flow back soon

to the sea

And the sinners tried to run

The saints they kept faith and stayed

The water spared no one

All souls were taken away

(Am)

Some lost their faith

Some lost their lives

Some lost their eyes

crying for a better day

A change is gonna come

These troubled waters will

flow back soon

to the sea

(Outro)

And the meek shall inherit the earth

For what it’s worth
