[B] [E]
[B]
Let us pause in life's pleasures [E] and count its many [B] tears
While we all sup [F#] sorrow with the [B] poor There's a song it will linger [E] forever in
[B] our ears Oh hard times [F#] come again no [B]
more
It's a song and a sigh [E] of the [B] weary Oh hard times, hard times come again [F#] no more
[B] Many days have you lingered [E] all around my cabin [B]
door
Oh hard times come again no more While we seek mirth and beauty
And [E] music light [B] and gay There are frail forms fainting at the door
Though their voices are silent Their [E] pleading looks [B] will say
Oh hard times [F#] come [B] again no more It's a song and a sigh of [E] the [B]
weary
Oh hard times, hard times come again [F#] no more
[B] Many days have you lingered all [E] around my [B] cabin door
Oh hard times [F#] come again [B] no more

[F#] [B]
There's a pale drooping maiden [E] Who foils her life [B] away
With a worn out heart [F#] as better days [B] are o'er Though her voice it would be merry
It's [E] sighing all the [B] day Oh hard [F#] times come [B] again no more
It's a song and a sigh of [E] the
[B] weary Oh hard times, hard times come again [F#] no more
[B] Many days have you lingered [E] all around [C#m] my [B] cabin door
