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.
