But little they know    that it's so hard to find
    C           G              F         C
One rich man in ten     with a satisfied mind.

Once I was winning      in fortune and fame;
     C            G                   F              C
Everything that I dreamed of to get a start in lifes game.

But suddenly it happened, I lost every dime,
        C         G            F         C
But I'm richer by far   with a satisfied mind.

Or a friend when you're lonesome or a love that's grown cold;
    C          G             F         C
The wealthiest person   is a pauper at times
   C            G              F         C

When life is over,      my time has run out,
   C              G               F                 C
My friends and my loved ones I'll leave, there's no doubt.
    C             F  G                      C
But one thing for certain, when it comes my time,
     C              G            F         C
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.
