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

times, [E] come again no more.
[A] Many days you have lingered [D] around my [A] cabin door,
[D] [A] Oh, hard [E] times, come [A] again no more.
There's a pale drooping maiden [D] who toils her [A] life away,
[D] With [A] a warm heart [E] whose better [A] days are o'er.
Though her voice should be merry, [D] it's singing [A] all the day,
[D] [A] Oh, hard [E] times, come [A] again no more.
It's a song, a sigh of [D] the [A] weary.
Hard [D] times, [A] hard times, [E] come again no more.
Many [A] days you have lingered [D] around my cabin [A] door,
[D] [A] Oh, hard [E] times, come [A] again no more.
It's a sigh that has wafted [D] across the troubled [A] wave,
[D] It's [A] a wail that [E] is heard upon [A] the shore.
It's a dirge that is murmured [D] around the [A] lowly grave,
Oh, hard [E] times, come [A] again no more.
It's a song, a sigh [D] of the [A] weary.
Hard [D] times, hard [A] times, [E] come again no more.
Many [A]
days you have lingered [D]
around my [A] cabin door,
Oh, hard [E]
times, come again [A] no more.
