A Satisfied Mind Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

How many [D]times h[E]ave you heard someone s[A]ay
If I had m[E]oney... I'd d[D]o things my [A]way
But little they k[E]now... that it's s[D]o hard to f[A]ind
One rich man in[E] ten... with a s[D]atisfied m[A]ind

Once I was w[D]inn[E]ing in fortune and fa[A]me;
Everything that I dr[E]eamed for, to get a s[D]tart in lifes [A]game.
But suddenly it h[E]appened, I l[D]ost every d[A]ime,
But I'm richer by f[E]ar with a s[D]atisfied m[A]ind.

Money can't b[D]uy b[E]ack your youth when you're o[A]ld
Or a friend when you're l[E]onely or a l[D]ove that's grown c[A]old;
The wealthiest p[E]erson is a p[D]auper at t[A]imes
Compared to the m[E]an, with a s[D]atisfied [A]mind.

When life h[D]as e[E]nded, my time has run [A]out,
My friends and my l[E]oved ones I'll l[D]eave, there's no do[A]ubt.
But one thing for c[E]ertain, when it c[D]omes my t[A]ime,
I'll leave this old w[E]orld with a sat[D]isfied m[A]ind.

(Repeat Verse 1)
