Paul Kelly – Hard Times (Guitar)

          C                    -           F                C
Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears

C                   G                C F C
While we all sup sorrow with the poor

           C                –      F            C
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears

      C         G7                 C F C
Oh, hard times, come again no more

           C          C             F  C
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary

C             Am          D                G7
Hard times, hard times, come again no more

       C               C               F               C
Many days you have lingered all around my cabin door

      C         G7                C F C
Oh, hard times, come again no more

          C                   -          F                C
While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay

             C             G               C F C
There are frail forms fainting at the door

               C           –          F            C
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say

      C         G7                 C F C
Oh, hard times, come again no more

           C          C             F  C
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary

C             Am          D                G7
Hard times, hard times, come again no more

       C               C               F               C
Many days you have lingered all around my cabin door

      C         G7                C F C
Oh, hard times, come again no more

          C          -       F                  C
'Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave

        C             G               C F C
'Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore

          C          -          F               C
'Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave

     C         G7                 C F C
Oh hard times come again no more

           C          C             F  C
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary

C             Am          D                G7
Hard times, hard times, come again no more

       C               C               F               C
Many days you have lingered all around my cabin door

      C         G7                C F C
Oh, hard times, come again no more
