A Satisfied Mind

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

           D  E                   A
Once I was waiting in fortune and fame;
                  E                     D               A
Everything that I dreamed for, to get a start in life's game.
                 E           D          A
Then suddenly it happened, I lost every dime,
                  E          D         A
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind.

            D   E                           A
Money can't buy back your youth when you're old
                        E           D                 A
Or a friend when you're lonely or a love that's grown cold
               E           D         A
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
                E           D         A
Compared to the man, with a satisfied mind.

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