Hard Times Come Again No More chords *
Stephen Foster 1854
DAD
Let us pause in life's pleasures and count it s many tears,
GDAD
while we all sup sorrow with the poor
AD
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears;
GDAD
Oh, hard times come again no more.
DGD
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
EA
hard times, hard times, come again no more
DAD
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
GDAD
Oh, hard times come again no more.
DAD
While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay,
GDAD
there are frail forms fainting at the door
AD
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say;
GDAD
Oh, hard times come again no more.

DGD
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
EA
hard times, hard times, come again no more
DAD
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
GDAD
Oh, 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.
DGD
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
EA
hard times, hard times, come again no more
DAD
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
GDAD
Oh, 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.
DGD
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
EA
hard times, hard times, come again no more
DAD
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
GDAD
Oh, hard times come again no more.
