Verse 1
(D major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (G major) Gone are the days
when (C major) my heart was young and gay (A minor)
(G major) Gone are my friends
from the (C major) cotton fields away, (G major)
(D major) Gone (G major) from the earth to a (C major) better land
I (G major) know, I hear (D major) the gentle voices (G major) (C major) calling, (D major)
(G major) Old Black (D major) (G major) Joe.
I'm coming, I'm (C major) coming,
For (G major) (C major) my head is bending low,
(G major) I hear (A minor) no (D major) gentle voices (G major) (C major) call (G major) ing, (C major)
(G major) O (D major) pleasure! (G major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
Where are the hearts,
once so (C major) happy and so free?
The (A minor) (G major) children so dear
that (C major) I held upon my (D major) knee
Gone (G major) to the shore
where my soul (C major) has longed to go,
(G major) I hear (D major) the gentle (G major) voices (C major) call (G major) ing,
(C major) (D major) oh, (G major) let's (D major) (G major) go, I'm coming,
I'm (C major) coming, (G major) for my (C major) head
Is bending low
(G major) I hear those (D major) gentle (G major) voices (C major)
(G major) Calling
(C major) (D major) (G major) Oh, Black (D major) Joe (G major) you
