How many times have you heard someone say,
G# D# C# G#
"If I had his money I could do things my way."
G# D# C# G#
But little they know that it's so hard to find
G# D# C# G#
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.
G# D# C# G#
Once I was winning in fortune and fame;
G# D# C# G#
Everything that I dreamed of to get a start in lifes game.
G# C# D# G#
But suddenly it happened, I lost every dime,
G# D# C# G#
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind.
G# D# C# G#
Money can't buy back your youth when you're old
G# D# C# G#
Or a friend when you're lonesome or a love that's grown cold;
G# D# C# G#
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
G# D# C# G#
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind.
G# D# C# G#
When life is over, my time has run out,
G# D# C# G#
My friends and my loved ones I'll leave, there's no doubt.
G# C# D# G#
But one thing for certain, when it comes my time,
G# D# C# G#
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.
G# C# D# G#
How many times have you heard someone say.
