[Verse 1]
         G     A                        D          D
How many times   have you heard someone say:
         A         A                      D          D
if I had his money   I could do things my way?
                G    A                      D** A**  B7**
But little they know   that it's so hard to find,
    Bm7**    G      A                  D           D
one rich man in ten   with a satisfied   mind.

[Verse 2]
            G     A                             D          D
Money can't   buy   back your youth when you're old
                        A      A                         D          D
or a friend when you're lonely   or a heart that's grown cold.
               G      A                D** A**  B7**
The wealthiest person   is a pauper at times,
   Bm7**        G   A                  D           D
compared to the man   with a satisfied mind.

[Verse 3]
           G       A                D          D
Once I was wealthy   in fortune and fame,
                 A        A                          D          D
I had all that I   needed   to get a start in life's game.
                 G         A              D** A**  B7**
Then suddenly it happened,   I lost every   dime,
        Bm7**     G   A                  D           D
but I'm richer by far   with a satisfied   mind.

[Verse 4]
                G    A                     D          D
When my life is over   and my time has run out
                      A          A                       D          D
all my friends and my loved ones   will weep, there's no doubt.
                     G       A                  D** A**  B7**
But one thing 's for certain   when it comes my time:
     Bm7**          G       A                  D           D
I'll leave this old   world   with a satisfied   mind.
                  G       A                  D** A**  B7**
But one thing for certain   when it comes my time:
     Bm7**          G       A                  D       D     D     D
I'll leave this old   world   with a satisfied   mind.
