A Satisfied Mind — Porter Wagoner

Chords and lyrics for A Satisfied Mind by Porter Wagoner (key of E).

Verse 1

How many [A]times [B]have you heard someone [E]say
If I had his [B]money I would [A]do things my [E]way
But little they [B]know that it's [A]so hard to [E]find
One rich man in [B]ten with a [A]satisfied [E]mind

Verse 2

Once I was [B]waiting in [A]fortune and [E]fame
Everything that I [B]dreamed for to get a [A]start in life's [E]game
Then suddenly it [A][B]hap-pened I lost every [E]dime
But I'm richer by [B]far with a [A]satisfied [E]mind

Interlude

[B] [A] [E]

Verse 3

Money can't [A]buy [B]back your youth when you're [E]old
Or a friend when you're [B]lonely or a [A]love that's grown [E]cold
The wealthiest [B]person is a [A]pauper at [E]times
Compared to the [B]man with a [A]satisfied [E]mind

Verse 4

When my life has [B]ended and my [A]time has run [E]out
My friends and my [B]loved ones I'll [A]leave there's no [E]doubt
But there's one thing for [A][B]cer-tain when it comes my [E]time
I'll leave this old [B]world with a [A]satisfied [E]mind
