Subject: RE: Hard Times (come again no more)versions
I once sifted through every Youtube version of Hard Times, and as far as I remember the McGarrigles got my vote.

The De Danann version was ruined for me by the bizarre choice of a Major II chord to go with the "weary" in the first line of the chorus.

The song needs a IV chord there, never a II.
