A Change Is Gonna Come ChordsLearn how to play A Change Is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke! The Intro to this track is a guitar version of the string arrangement on the original. The chord progression use the IIIx chord to lead more clearly to VI. Cyclic progressions like this happen all the time. They derive from the Blues' concept of: I - IV (4th up) V - I (4th up). The progression of 'A Change Is Gonna Come' is theoretically simple, apart form is the intro.
A Change Is Gonna Come IntroUsing the DIY TAB of The Conspiracy, and the video lesson here on the right; work out what the different chords extend to. I6 in the key of G would be a G6 for example (first chord). Another chord type used is slash chords, these are notated as, for example V6/VII which means D6/F# in the key of G. Since all these chords are played with a capo, we are actually in the key of A, but as a guitarist you should think of this as playing in G since this is what the shapes tell you. Use the conspiracy, Chordacus images and SWS below to understand this fully.
