Old Black Joe chords
Stephen Foster (as performed by Van Morrison)

CGone are the days
        F                   CWhen my heart was young and gay

Gone are toils
       Dm             GOf the cotton fields away
CGone to the fields
     F              COf a better land, I know
  G                 C      FI hear those gentle voices callin' me
C   G     COld Black Joe

I'm comin', I'm comin'
          F               CThough my head is bendin' low
  G                 C      FI hear those gentle voices callin' me
C   G     COld Black Joe

C                      F                    CWhy do I weep, when my heart should feel no pain,
                      Dm                GWhy do I sigh that my friends come not again?
C                        F            CGrieving for forms now departed long ago.
  G                 C      F       C   G     CI hear their gentle voices calling Old Black Joe.

I'm comin', I'm comin'
          F               CThough my head is bendin' low
  G                 C      FI hear those gentle voices callin' me
C   G     COld Black Joe

C                            F            CWhere are the hearts once so happy and so free?
                            Dm           GThe children so dear that I held upon my knee?
C                          F                  CGone to the shore where my soul has longed to go,
  G                 C      F       C   G     CI hear their gentle voices calling Old Black Joe.
I'm comin', I'm comin'
          F               CThough my head is bendin' low
  G                 C      FI hear those gentle voices callin' me
C   G     COld Black Joe
