Hard Times Come Again No More chords  *
Stephen Foster 1854

             D                             A               DLet us pause in life's pleasures and count it s many tears,
G        D              A        Dwhile we all sup sorrow with the poor
                                   A           DThere's a song that will linger forever in our ears;
G   D                A       DOh, hard times come again no more.

D                             G   DTis the song, the sigh of the weary,
                              E       A   hard times, hard times, come again no more
     D                       A              DMany days you have lingered around my cabin door;
G   D                A       DOh, hard times come again no more.

         D                         A               DWhile we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay,
G         D           A               Dthere are frail forms fainting at the door
                                      A                   DThough their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say;
G   D                A       DOh, hard times come again no more.

D                             G   DTis the song, the sigh of the weary,
                              E       A   hard times, hard times, come again no more
     D                       A              DMany days you have lingered around my cabin door;
G   D                A       DOh, hard times come again no more.

There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away,
with a worn heart whose better days are o'er:
Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day,
Oh, hard times come again no more.

D                             G   DTis the song, the sigh of the weary,
                              E       A   hard times, hard times, come again no more
     D                       A              DMany days you have lingered around my cabin door;
G   D                A       DOh, hard times come again no more.

Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave,
tis a wail that is heard upon the shore
Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave;
Oh, hard times come again no more.

D                             G   DTis the song, the sigh of the weary,
                              E       A   hard times, hard times, come again no more
     D                       A              DMany days you have lingered around my cabin door;
G   D                A       DOh, hard times come again no more.
