[Intro] D A D A [Verse 1]
D                      F#m           G              D
Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears,

                 A               D
while we all sup sorrow with the poor.

                         F#m      G            D
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears,

               A             D
Oh, hard times come again no more.
[Chorus]
                  A           G    D
Its the song, the sigh of the weary,

Bm          D           Gm            A
hard times, hard times, come again no more.

     D              F#m     G              D
Many days that will linger around my cabin door,

                A             D
Oh, hard times come again no more.
[Verse 2]
                        F#m        G               D
While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay,

                       A               D
there are frail forms fainting at the door.

                        F#m           G                   D
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say,

                A             D
Oh, hard times come again no more.
[Chorus]
                  A           G    D
Its the song, the sigh of the weary,

Bm          D           Gm            A
hard times, hard times, come again no more.

     D              F#m     G              D
Many days that will linger around my cabin door,

               A             D
Oh, hard times come again no more.
[Interlude] D F#m G D A D [Verse 3]
                        F#m        G              D
There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away,

                        A                D
with a worn heart whose better days are over.

                          F#m          G               D
Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day,

                A            D
Oh, hard times come again no more.
[Chorus]
                  A           G    D
Its the song, the sigh of the weary,

Bm          D           Gm            A
hard times, hard times, come again no more.

     D              F#m     G               D
Many days have you lingered around my cabin door,

                A             D
Oh, hard times come again no more.
[Verse 3]
                   F#m      G                 D
Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave,

                    A              D
tis a wail that is heard upon the shore.

                    F#m        G              D
Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave,

                A             D
Oh, hard times come again no more.
[Chorus]
                  A           G    D
Its the song, the sigh of the weary,

Bm          D           Gm            A
hard times, hard times, come again no more.

     D              F#m     G               D
Many days have you lingered around my cabin door,

                A             D
Oh, hard times come again no more.

                A             D
Oh, hard times come again no more.
