| Bb F/A |
| There's an old friend that |
| Gm Bb/F |
| I once heard say |
| Dm Ebmaj7 Dm Cm9 |
| Somethin' that touched my heart |
| C7 F4 |
| And it began this way: |
| Bb Bb/A Gm |
| I was born by the river |
| Bb Cm |
| In a little tent; |
| Cm Gm |
| And just like the river |
| F7 Bb |
| I've been runnin' every since |
| Bb4 Bb7 Eb |
| He said, "It's been a long |
| D7 |
| Time comin' |
| Gm |
| But I know my change |
| Gm |
| Is gonna come..." |
| Bb Cm7 F7 Bb |
| Oh, yeah |
| Bb/A |
| He said, "It's been too hard |
| Gm |
| Livin' |
| Bb Cm |
| But I'm afraid to die; |
| Cm |
| I might not be if I knew |
| Gm |
| What was up there |
| F4 F7 Bb |
| Beyond the sky |
| Bb4 Bb7 Eb |
| It's been a long, |
| D7 |
| A long time comin' |
| Gm |
| But I know my change |
| Gm |
| Has got to come..." |
| Bb Cm |
| Oh, yeah |
| Gm Cm |
| I went... I went to my brother |
| Gm |
| And I asked him, "Brother |
| Cm |
| Could you help me, please?" |
| Gm |
| He said, "Good sister |
| I'd like to, but I'm not able..." |
| C7 |
| And when I, when I looked around |
| C7 |
| I was right back down, |
| F7 |
| Down on my bended knees |
| Bb |
| Yes, I was! Oh no |
| Bridge: |
| Gm Dm F4 Bb x2 |
| Bb/A |
| There've been times that |
| Gm |
| I thought... |
| Gm |
| I thought that I wouldn't |
| Bb Cm |
| Last for long |
| Gm |
| But somehow, right now |
| Gm |
| I believe that I'm able |
| F4 F7 Bb |
| I'm able to carry on |
| Bb |
| I tell you that |
| Bb4 Bb7 |
| It's been a long... and oh |
