Misc Traditional – Satisfied Mind (Guitar)

F        C              Bb            F
How many times have you heard someone say:

              C              Bb           F
"If I had his money, I would do things my way."

                C               Bb         F
But little they know, that it's so hard to find,

                C          Bb        F
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.

F          C         Bb          F
Once I was living in fortune and fame,

                 C               Bb              F
I had all that I needed to get a start in life's game.

                 C           Bb         F
Then suddenly it happened, I lost every dime,

                  C           Bb        F
But I'm richer by far, with a satisfied mind.

       F           C             Bb                F
'Cause money can't buy back your youth when you're old,

                        C            Bb                F
Or a friend when you're lonely, or a love that's grown cold.

               C           Bb        F
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times.

                C          Bb        F
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind.

     F           C            Bb           F
When my life has ended and my time has run out,

                  C               Bb              F
My friends and my loved ones will weep there's no doubt.

                    C             Bb          F
But one thing's for certain, when it comes my time,

                    C            Bb        F
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.

                         C            Bb        F
Yes, I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.
