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-Gever 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 weaCry
Hard times, F hard C times D come again no G more
Many C days you have lingered a-Ground my cabin Am door
F Oh, C hard times Gcome again no C more
While we C seek mirth and beauty and G music light and Am gay
F there are C frail forms Gfainting at the C door
Though their voices are silent, their G pleading looks will Am say
F Oh, C hard times Gcome again no C more
Chorus harmony
T'is the C song, the sigh of the F weaCry
C Hard times, F hard C times D come again no G more
Many C days you have lingered a-Ground my cabin Am door
F Oh, C hard times Gcome 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 Gbetter days are C o'er
Though her voice would be merry, t'is G sighing all the Am day
F Oh, C hard times Gcome again no C more
Chorus harmony
T'is the C song, the sigh of the F weaCry
Hard times, F hard C times D come again no G more
Many C days you have lingered a-Ground my cabin Am door
F Oh, C hard times Gcome 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
