Hard Times Come Again No More chords *
Stephen Foster 1854
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Let us pause in life's pleasures and count it's many tears,
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
while we all sup sorrow with the poor
A augmentedA D MajorD
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears;
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Oh, hard times come again no more.
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
E MajorE A augmentedA
hard times, hard times, come again no more
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Oh, hard times come again no more.
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay,
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
there are frail forms fainting at the door
A augmentedA D MajorD
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say;
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Oh, hard times come again no more.
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
E MajorE A augmentedA
hard times, hard times, come again no more
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Oh, hard times come again no more.
There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away,
with a worn heart whose better days are o'er:
Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day,
Oh, hard times come again no more.
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
E MajorE A augmentedA
hard times, hard times, come again no more
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Oh, hard times come again no more.
Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave,
tis a wail that is heard upon the shore
Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave;
Oh, hard times come again no more.
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
E MajorE A augmentedA
hard times, hard times, come again no more
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Oh, hard times come again no more.
