Capo III
D G D G D A D
D G D Let us pause in life's pleasures and count it's many tears, A A7 D while we all sup sorrow with the poor G 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 While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay, A A7 D there are frail forms fainting at the door G 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, E7 A A7 hard times, hard times, come again no more D G D Many days you have lingered around my cabin door; G D A D Oh, hard times come again no more.
D G D G D A D
D G D There's a pale sorrow maiden who toils her life away, A A7 D with a worn heart whose better days are o'er: G D Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day, G D A D Oh, hard times come again no more. D G D Tis the song, the sigh of the weary, E7 A A7 hard times, hard times, come again no more D G D Many days you have lingered around my cabin door; G D A D Oh, hard times come again no more.
D G D G D A D
D G D Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave, A A7 D tis a wail that is heard upon the shore G D Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave; G D A D Oh, hard times come again no more. D G D Tis the song, the sigh of the weary, E7 A A7 hard times, hard times, come again no more D G D Many days you have lingered around my cabin door; G D A D Oh, hard times come again no more.
