 This version is in second position and requires bending (" means bend
a whole step). The audio example is played in the key of D on a G harp
and has a few ideas for embellishing the tab below. Hope y'all have as
much fun with this tune as I have!  

  Hard Times Come Again No More

  3    -3"  -3    -3   -3"    -3  -4

 Let us pause in life's pleasure

  4  -3  -3"   3    -2" -3" 3

 And count it's many tears

   -4       5   -4     3       -3" 3    -3    -3"     3

 While we all share sorrow with the poor.

   3        -3" -3      -3   -3" -3 -4

 There's a song that will linger

  4 -3 -3" 3  -2" -3"   3

 For - ever   in our ears

 -4  5  -4       6         -7     -6 6     5  6

 Oh    hard times come again no more.

 Chorus

 -3    4    -4 -        4 -4"   -4  5    -4 -4    

 It's the song, the sigh of the weary

   6       -4        5       -4         -3     -3"     3    -3"

 Hard times, hard times, come again no more.

   3 -3"  -3     -3     -3"   -3 -4

 Many days you have lingered

   4 -3  -3" 3   -2"-3"  3

 Around my cabin door

  -4 5 -4       6        -3      -4 -3" 3  2 3 3

 Oh, hard times, come again    no   more.
