A Satisfied Mind Uke tab by Johnny Cash

C      D                           
How many times have 
                  G        
you heard someone say 
          D                             
If I had money 
       C         G 
I'd do things my way 


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


            C  D                     
Once I was winning´ 
               G 
in fortune and fame;  
                    D                                 
Everything that I dreamed for, 
          C             G 
to get a start in life´ game.  


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

             C   D                            
Money can't buy back 
                       G 
your youth when you're old 
                         D                             
Or a friend when you're lonely 
      C                G 
or a love that's grown cold; 


                D                     
The wealthiest person 
      C        G 
is a pauper at times 
                 D                   
Compared to the man, 
       C         G 
with a satisfied mind. 



           C   D                      
When life has ended, 
                    G     
And my time has run out,  
                   D                                 
My friends and my loved ones 
     C                    G 
I'll leave, there's no doubt.  


                   D                       
But there's one thing for certain, 
        C        G 
when it comes my time,  
                     D                      
I'll leave this old world 
          C      G 
with a satisfied mind.
