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

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