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

There's a pale drooping [G] maiden who [A] toils her [D] life away
[G] [D] with a worn [A] heart whose better [D] days are o'er.
Though her voice would be merry, [G] it's [A] sighing all [D] the [G] day.
Oh, [D] hard [A] times come again [D] no more.
It's a song, the wind blows [G] across [A] the [D] troubled [G] wave.
It's [D] a cry [A] that's heard along [D] the shore.
It's the words that are whispered [G] beside [A] the lonely [D] [G] grave.
[D] Oh, hard [A] times come again [D] no more.
It's a song, a sigh of [G] the [A]
[D] weary.
Hard times, hard [Em] times come again [A] no [F#m] more.
[D] Many days you have [G] lingered around [A] my [D] cabin door.
[G] [D] Oh, hard times [A] [Bm] come again no [G] more.
Oh, [D] hard times [A] [D] come again no more.
