This is a cover of a Bob Dylan's song, also part of the Elizabethtown Soundtrack.
I'm pretty much sure this should be played with a capo, so...
Stick a capo on the 4th fret

[Verse 1]
       D                             G              D
Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears
                                 A
While we all sup sorrow with the poor.
         D                          G          D
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears,
                A             D
Oh, hard times, come again no more.
 
[Chorus]
         D                     G  D
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary.
D                                     A
Hard times, hard times, come again no more.
     D                       G              D
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door.
                A             D
Oh, hard times, come again no more.
 
[Verse 2]
         D                         G               D
While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay.
                                      A
There are frail ones fainting at the door.
             D                        G                   D
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say.
                A             D
Oh, hard times, come again no more.
 
[Chorus]
         D                     G   D
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary.
D                                     A
Hard times, hard times, come again no more.
     D                       G              D
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door.
                A             G
Oh, hard times, come again no more.
 
[Verse 3]
        D                         G              D
'Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave
                                     A
'Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore
           D                   G                D
'Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave
                A             D
Oh, hard times, come again no more.
 
[Chorus]
         D                     G   D
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary.
D                                     A
Hard times, hard times, come again no more.
     D                       G              D
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door.
                A             D
Oh, hard times, come again no more.
                A             D
Oh, hard times, come again no more.

This is not a Dylan tune. It dates back to the Civil War, written by Stephen Foster. But you did a good job on the chords.

chord are correct, but the fingerpicking style means you're going to be picking notes that you've x'd out.
