CHow many Ftimes Ghave     you heard someone Csay,
"If CI had his Gmoney     I could Fdo things my Cway."
But Clittle they Gknow    that it's Fso hard to Cfind
One Crich man in Gten     with a Fsatisfied Cmind.
COnce I was Gwinning      in Ffortune and Cfame;
EveryCthing that I Gdreamed of to get a Fstart in lifes Cgame.
But Csuddenly it FhappGened, I lost every Cdime,
But I'm Cricher by Gfar   with a Fsatisfied Cmind.
CMoney can't Gbuy back    your Fyouth when you're Cold
Or a Cfriend when you're Glonesome or a Flove that's grown Ccold;
The Cwealthiest Gperson   is a Fpauper at Ctimes
ComCpared to the Gman     with a Fsatisfied Cmind.
CWhen life is Gover,      my Ftime has run Cout,
My Cfriends and my Gloved ones I'll Fleave, there's no Cdoubt.
But Cone thing for FcerGtain, when it comes my Ctime,
I'll Cleave this old Gworld with a Fsatisfied Cmind.
CHow many Ftimes Ghave     you heard someone Csay.

Chords in this song · guitar

C F G C

How many times have you heard someone say,

C G F C

"If I had his money I could do things my way."

C G F C

But little they know that it's so hard to find

C G F C

One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.

C G F C

Once I was winning in fortune and fame;

C G F C

Everything that I dreamed of to get a start in lifes game.

C F G C

But suddenly it happened, I lost every dime,

C G F C

But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind.

C G F C

Money can't buy back your youth when you're old

C G F C

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

Compared to the man with a satisfied mind.

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.

C F G C

How many times have you heard someone say.
