Porter Wagoner - A Satisfied Mind guitar chord

A Satisfied Mind

(By Porter Wagoner) (Died 2007 at age 80)

(1955)

[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]

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 winning, in fortune and fame

[E7]

Everything that I dreamed for

[D] [A]

To get a start in life's game

[E7] [D] [D]

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 trials 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
