Hard Times Come Again No More chords *
Stephen Foster 1854 (this version by Nanci Griffith **)

Capo III

D G D G D A D

D G D
Let us pause in life's pleasures and count it's many tears,
A A7 D
while we all sup sorrow with the poor
G D
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears;
G D A D
Oh, hard times come again no more.

D G D
While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay,
A A7 D
there are frail forms fainting at the door
G D
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say;
G D A D
Oh, hard times come again no more.

D G D
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
E7 A A7
hard times, hard times, come again no more
D G D
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
G D A D
Oh, hard times come again no more.

D G D G D A D

D G D
There's a pale sorrow maiden who toils her life away,
A A7 D
with a worn heart whose better days are o'er:
G D
Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day,
G D A D
Oh, hard times come again no more.

D G D
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
E7 A A7
hard times, hard times, come again no more
D G D
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
G D A D
Oh, hard times come again no more.

D G D G D A D

D G D
Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave,
A A7 D
tis a wail that is heard upon the shore
G D
Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave;
G D A D
Oh, hard times come again no more.

D G D
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
E7 A A7
hard times, hard times, come again no more
D G D
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
G D A D
Oh, hard times come again no more.

D G D G D A D

G D A D
Oh, hard times come again no more.

D G D G D A D

G D A D
Oh, hard times come again no more. . . .
