[Verse 1]

When Dad would play his old guitar
Cm
He used to rant and rave
Eb
Though he hardly had two dimes
                          F
He would tell me what God gave
Cm             Gm
We'd all dance around the room
Eb                          F
When he would sing and play
     Bb                 Cm
When people said he was poor
          Eb                  Bb
He said, "I'm rich in another way"

[Verse 2]

I went to school and I smelled of smoke
Cm
And my jeans were hand-me-down
Eb
I had patches sewn onto patches
                                F
We had a single-wide outside of town
Cm               Gm
My daddy took me bar to bar
Eb                       F
To get me where I am today
Bb                 Cm
People said I was poor
          Eb              Bb
But I was rich in another way
                         Cm
When people said we were poor
         Eb             Bb
We were rich in another way
Cm   Gm   Eb   F   Bb
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Cm              Eb
Rich in another way

[Verse 3]

Well, Daddy's got his wings these days
Eb
And his children are all grown

We don't worry 'bout money no more
                        F
With all the things we own
Bb
Still, the finest things we ever had
       Cm
Was to never have a thing
   Eb
So wherever life may take us
                         F
We would always live like kings
             Cm              Gm
You know, it wouldn't mean a thing to me
Eb               F
If I lost it all today
Bb                       Cm
When people said we were poor
Eb                      Bb
We were rich in another way
                         Cm
When people said we were poor
             Eb        Bb
You know, we were rich in another way
