E B7 A E
How many times have you heard someone say
B7 A E
If I had his money I'd do things my way
B7 A E
But little they know that it's so hard to find
B7 A E
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind
B7 A E
For money can't buy back your youth when you're old
B7 A E
Or a friend when you're lonely or a heart that's grown cold
B7 A E
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
B7 A E
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind
E B7 A E
Once I was living in fortune and fame
B7 A E
I had all that I dreamed of to get a start in lifes game
B7 A E
Then suddenly it happened and I lost every dime
B7 A E
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind
