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.
