Verse 1

G        C      D7                     G
How many ti-mes have you heard someone say
             D7               C         G
If I had his money I would do things my way
                D7                        G
But little they know that it's so hard to find
                D7         C         G
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind

Verse 2

           D7        C           G
Once I was living in fortune and fame
                 D7              C               G
I had all that I needed to get a start in life's game
                 C         G D7         G
Then suddenly it hap-pened I lost every dime
                  D7         C         G
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind

Verse 3

                   C   G         D7                G
'Cause money can't buy back your youth when you're old
                        D7          C                 G
Or a friend when you're lonely or a love that's grown cold
               D7          C         G
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
                D7         C         G
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind

Verse 4

                 D7           C            G
When my life has ended and my time has run out
                  D7         C                    G
My friends and my loved ones will weep there's no doubt
                    C        D7 G             G
But one thing's for cer-tain when it comes my time
                    D7           C         G
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
