He took the (Eb)street a lone, just an (Fm)old coat and a (Cm)sax o phone.
An ol’ beat up (Fm7)card board sign,
that’s what his (Db)name (Eb)was scrawled up (Ab)on.
My name was (Eb)up in lights;
(Fm)his soul lit (Cm)up the night.
A voice on a (Fm7)side walk stage,
he held the (Db)crowd a (Eb)mazed.
And the (Fm)sounds that he (Dbmaj7)played
were (Fm)ten der and (Dbmaj7)strong,
(Cbmaj7)then he (Fbmaj7)sang
his (Db)song.
I can (Ab)see
the (Eb)sun
peek in’ (Db)out through them (Ab)clouds.
(Ab7)I can (Db)hear a (Eb)choir of (Ab)spar rows
sing in’ out from them (Db)trees.
There’s a (Ab)new
con stel (Eb)la tion
and I’m (Db)sing in’ it out (Ab)loud.
A (Db)change is (Eb)on the (Fm)way.
I can (Db)feel it in (Ab)me.
(Db)On
a street in the (Eb)heart of town, a (Fm)cold wind, the (Cm)sun goes down,
a crowd starts to (Fm7)gath er ’round
and he’s sing ing for (Db)free.
A soul that can (Eb)move the stars sleeps on (Fm)side walks and (Cm)sub way cars.
The prince of the (Fm7)boul e vard
and he’s down on his (Db)knees.
There was (Fm)hope, joy and (Db9)pain
in (Fm)ev
’ry re frain
when he (Fbmaj7)sang his song a (Db)gain.
Now we (Ab)all
are sin ners if we (Db)look in side our (Ab)selves.
(Ab7)And (Db)love can (Eb)save the (Ab)wretch ed
from life’s own mis er (Db)y.
We are (Ab)born
in his (Eb)good ness; we can (Db)share in his (Ab)wealth.
(Ab7)A (Db)change is (Eb)on the (Fm)way ay ay (Cm7)ay,
I can (Eb)feel it for (Ab)you.
And the (Db)street sing (Eb)er
(Eb)showed me that (Fm)life ain’t (Cm7)fair.
Some peo ple go (Eb)far
and (Cm7)some go no (Fm)where.
Some live with (Eb)love
and (Edim7)some nev er (Fm)do.
And a (Db7)change is on the (Ab)way.
I can (D)feel it for (Ab)you.
Change is on the (Ab)way.
I can (D)feel it for (Ab)you.
Yes, a change
on the way.
I can (Db)feel it for (Ab)you.
Yes, a change
on the way.
I can (Db)feel it for (Ab)you.
Yes, a change
on the way.
I can (Db)feel it for (Ab)you.
Yes, a change
on the way.
(D)I can feel it.
(CN.C.)I can feel it.
