Hard Times - Mary Black (Stephen Foster)
Let us [C] pause in life's pleasures and [G] count its many [Am] tears
[F] while we [C] all sup [G] sorrow with the [C] poor
There's a song that will linger for-[G]ever in our [Am] ears
[F] Oh, [C] hard times [G] come again no [C] more
Chorus: (harmony)
T'is the [C] song, the sigh of the [F] wea[C]ry
Hard times, [F] hard [C] times [D] come again no [G] more
Many [C] days you have lingered a-[G]round my cabin [Am] door
[F] Oh, [C] hard times [G]come again no [C] more
While we [C] seek mirth and beauty and [G] music light and [Am] gay
[F] there are [C] frail forms [G]fainting at the [C] door
Though their voices are silent, their [G] pleading looks will [Am] say
[F] Oh, [C] hard times [G]come again no [C] more
Chorus: (harmony)
T'is the [C] song, the sigh of the [F] wea[C]ry
[C] Hard times, [F] hard [C] times [D] come again no [G] more
Many [C] days you have lingered a-[G]round my cabin [Am] door
[F] Oh, [C] hard times [G]come again no [C] more
There's a [C] pale weeping maiden who [G] toils her life [Am] away
[F] with a [C] worn heart whose [G]better days are [C] o'er
Though her voice would be merry, t'is [G] sighing all the [Am] day
[F] Oh, [C] hard times [G]come again no [C] more
Chorus: (harmony)
T'is the [C] song, the sigh of the [F] wea[C]ry
Hard times, [F] hard [C] times [D] come again no [G] more
Many [C] days you have lingered a-[G]round my cabin [Am] door
[F] Oh, [C] hard times [G]come again no [C] more
Acapello
T'is the song, the sigh of the weary
Hard times, hard times come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door
Oh, hard times come again no more
[F] Oh, [C] hard times [slow/single strums] [C*] come a-[G7*]gain no [C*] more
