[D] [A] [D]
[A] [D] [Bm] [D]
[A] [D] Let us pause in life's journey [G] and count [A] the many [D] [G] tears
While [D] we all [A] sup sorrow with the [D] poor
[A] There's [D] a song that will linger [G] forever [A] in [D] our [Bm] ears
[D] Oh, hard [A] times come again no [D]
more
While we seek mirth and beauty [G] and [D] music light and [G] gay
There are [D] frail forms [A] awaiting [D] at the door
Though their voices are silent, [G] their [B] pleading [D] seems to say
Oh, hard times [A] come again no [D] more
It's a song, a sigh of the [A] [D] weary
Hard [Em] times, hard times come again [A] no more
[D] Many days you have [G] lingered around [A] my [D] cabin [G] door
[D] Oh, hard times [A] come again [D] no more

[D] [A] [D]
There's a pale drooping maiden [G] who [A] toils her [D] life [G] away
[D] With a worn [A] heart whose better [D] days are o'er
Though her voice would be merry, [G] it's [A] sighing [D] all the [G] day
[D] Oh, hard [A] times come again [D] no more
It's a song, the wind blows [G] across [A] the [D] troubled [G] wave
It's [D] a cry [A] that's heard along [D] the shore
It's the words that are [G] whispered [A] beside the lowly [D] grave
[G] Oh, [D] hard times [A] come [D] again no more
It's a song, a sigh [G] of the [D] weary
Hard times, hard [Em] times come again [A] no [F#m] more
[D] Many days you have lingered [G] around [A] my [D] cabin [G] door
[D] Oh, hard [A] times come again [Bm] no [G] more
Oh, [D] hard [A] times come again [D] no more
