Verse 1

    A    D     E    E7        A
How many times have you heard someone say
         E   E7    D      A
If I had his money I’d do things my way
           E    E7        D       A
How little they know that it’s so hard to find
                E E7      D      A
One rich man in a hundred with a satisfied mind

Verse 2

     A D   E      E7 A
Once I was living in fortune and fame
               E      E7            D              A
Had everything that I dreamed of to get a start in life’s game
              E  E7       D      A
Then suddenly it happened I lost every dime
               E  E7  D      A
But I’m richer by far with a satisfied mind

Verse 3

            D   E    E7              A
Money can’t buy back your youth when you’re old
                 E      E7     D                 A
Or a friend when you’re lonely or a heart that’s grown cold
                E       E7  D    A
And the world’s richest man is a pauper at times
              E   E7   D A
Compared to a man with a satisfied mind

Verse 4

             E  E7       D           A
When my life is over and my time has run out
               E  E7         D          A
My friends and my loved ones I’ll leave there’s no doubt
                D   E            E7 A
But one thing’s for certain when it comes my time
           E        E7    D      A
I’ll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
