Old Black Joe Harmonica Tab

4 5 -5 6
Gone are the days

6 6 -6 7 -7 -6 6
when my heart was young and gay,

4 5 -5 6
Gone are my friends

6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -4
from the cot-ton fields a-way.

4 5 -5 6
Gone from the earth

6 6 -6 7 -7 -6 6
to a bet-ter land I know,

7 -7 7 -8 -7 7 -6 6 -6
I hear their gen-tle voic-es call-ing

5 -4 4
Old Black Joe

6 5 6 6 5 6
I’m com-ing, I’m com-ing

6 6 -6 7 -7 -6 6
for my head is bend-ing low:

7 -7 7 -8 -7 7 -6 6 -6
I hear those gen-tle voic-es call-ing,

5 -4 4
Old Black Joe.

verse 2
Who do I weep when my heart should feel no pain,
Who do I sigh that my friends come not again,
Grieving for forms now departed long ago?
I hear their gentle voices calling
Old Black Joe.

verse 3
Where are the hearts once so happy and so free,
The children so dear that I held upon my knee?
Gone to the shore where my soul has longed to go.
I hear their gentle voices calling, Old Black Joe.
