[G][D][A][Bbdim][Bm][G][D][Bm][Em][A]
[D][G]
[D]Let us pause in life's pleasures
And [A]count it's many [Bm]tears
[G]While we [D]all sup sorrow [A]with the [D]poor
[G]There's a [D]song that will linger
[A]Forever [Bbdim]in our ea[Bm]rs
[G]Oh, [D]hard [Bm]times,
[Em]come [A]again no [D]more[G]
[D]'Tis the

[Verse 2]
song, the sigh of the [G]weary[D]
Hard times, [G]hard [D]times,
[Em]come again no more[A]
Many [D]days you have lingered
[A]Around my [Bbdim]cabin doo[Bm]r
[G]Oh, [D]hard [Bm]times,
[Em]come [A]again no [D]more[G][D]
[G]While we [D]seek mirth

[Verse 3]
and beauty
And [A]music light and [Bm]gay
[G]There are [D]frail forms fainting
at the [G]door[D]
[G]Though their [D]voices are silent
Their [A]pleading [Bbdim]looks will [Bm]say
[G]Oh, [D]hard [Bm]times, [Em]come [A]again no [D]more
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary
Hard times, [G]hard times,
[Em]come again no [A]more
Many [D]days you have lingered
[A]Around my cabin [Bm]door
[G]Oh, hard [Bm]times, [Em]come [A]again no [D]more[G][D]

[Verse 4]
[A]
Toils her life [Bm]away [G]with a [D]worn heart
Whose better [A]days are [D]o'er
[G]Though her [D]voice would be merry
'tis sighing [F#]all the [Bm]day
[G]Oh, [D]hard [Bm]times, come [A]again no more 'Tis the song, the

Hard times, hard times, come
[G]again no more
Many days you have lingered
[D]Around my cabin door
Oh, hard times, come again no more

[Verse 5]
'Tis a sigh that is wafted
Across [A]the troubled [Bm]wave
[G]'Tis a [D]wail that is [A]heard upon
the [D]shore[G][D]
[G]'T is a [D]dirge that is murmured
[A]Around the [Bbdim]lowly gra[Bm]ve

[E]come aga[A]in no mor[D]e
