A Satisfied MindCifra de Viola

 A        D              E7            A 
How many times have you heard someone say 
               E7             D           A  
'If I had his money, I could do things my way?' 
            E7              D          A  
But Little they know that it's so hard to find 
                 E7         D        A  
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.  
 
 
 
           E7                      A        
Once I was wading, in fortune and fame  
                  E7 
Everything that I dreamed for  
           D        A 
To get a start in life's game  
             E7          D         D 
Then Suddenly it happened, I lost every dime 
                   E7        D          A  
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind  
 
 
 
Money can't buy back your youth when you're old  
Or a friend when you're lonely, or a love that's grown cold  
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times  
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind  
 
 
When my life is ended, my time has run out  
My friends and my loved ones, I'll leave them no doubt  
But one thing's for certain, when it comes my time  
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind  
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
