[Verse]
F Am
Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears
F C G C F C
For we all sup sorrow with the poor
F Am
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears
F C G C F C
Oh, hard times come again no more
[Chorus]
B7 C
There's a song, a sigh of the weary
F C D7 G
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
C F Am
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door
F C G C F C
Oh, hard times come again no more

F Am
While we seek mirth and beauty, and music bright and gay
F C G C F C
There are frail forms fainting at the door
F Am
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
F C G C F C
"Oh, hard times come again no more"
[Chorus]
B7 C
There's a song, a sigh of the weary
F C D7 G
Hard times, hard times, come again no more

Many days you have lingered around my cabin door
F C G C F
Oh, hard times come again no more
C G C
Oh, hard times come again no more
