Hard Times

D D G D Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears A While we all sup sorrow with the poor. D G D There's a song that will linger forever in our ears, A D Oh, hard times, come again no more. D G D 'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary. D A Hard times, hard times, come again no more. D G D Many days you have lingered around my cabin door. A D Oh, hard times, come again no more. D G D While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay. A There are frail ones fainting at the door. D G D Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say. A D Oh, hard times, come again no more. D G D 'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary. D A Hard times, hard times, come again no more. D G D Many days you have lingered around my cabin door. A G Oh, hard times, come again no more. D G D 'Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave A 'Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore D G D 'Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave A D Oh, hard times, come again no more. D G D 'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary. D A Hard times, hard times, come again no more. D G D Many days you have lingered around my cabin door. A D Oh, hard times, come again no more. A D Oh, hard times, come again no more.
