Hard Times Come Again No More chords *
Stephen Foster 1854 (this version by Nanci Griffith **)
Capo III
D G D G D A D
Let us Dpause in life's pleasures and Gcount it s many Dtears,
while we all sup Asorrow A7with the Dpoor
There's a song that will linger forGever in our Dears;
GOh, Dhard times Acome again no Dmore.
While we Dseek mirth and beauty and Gmusic light and Dgay,
there are frail forms Afainting A7at the Ddoor
Though their voices are silent, their Gpleading looks will Dsay;
GOh, Dhard times Acome again no Dmore.
DTis the song, the sigh of the GwearDy,
hard times, hard times, come aE7gain no AmoreA7
Many Ddays you have lingered aGround my cabin Ddoor;
GOh, Dhard times Acome again no Dmore.
D G D G D A D
There's a Dpale sorrow maiden who Gtoils her life aDway,
with a worn heart whose Abetter A7days are Do'er:
Though her voice would be merry, 'tis Gsighing all the Dday,
GOh, Dhard times Acome again no Dmore.
DTis the song, the sigh of the GwearDy,
hard times, hard times, come aE7gain no AmoreA7
Many Ddays you have lingered aGround my cabin Ddoor;
GOh, Dhard times Acome again no Dmore.
D G D G D A D
Tis a Dsigh that is wafted aGcross the troubled Dwave,
tis a wail that is Aheard uA7pon the Dshore
Tis a dirge that is murmured aGround the lowly Dgrave;
GOh, Dhard times Acome again no Dmore.
DTis the song, the sigh of the GwearDy,
hard times, hard times, come aE7gain no AmoreA7
Many Ddays you have lingered aGround my cabin Ddoor;
GOh, Dhard times Acome again no Dmore.
D G D G D A D
GOh, Dhard times Acome again no Dmore.
D G D G D A D
GOh, Dhard times Acome again no Dmore. . . .
