  22 <p>Add a [C Csus4 C] or a [C Csus4 C Csus2 C] flourish at the end of each
  23 line and a Gsus4 or C/g for the Gs at midline.<br />
  24 Note that the first line in the first verse is sung completely
  25 different from the rest of the lines. Probably to fool the audience
  26 into thinking that he was going to sing Blowin' in the wind...</p>

  40 C        F     G                          C
  41 How many times have     you heard someone say,
  42     C         G                 F            C
  43 &quot;If I had his money     I could do things my way.&quot;
  44     C           G                 F          C
  45 But little they know    that it's so hard to find
  46     C           G              F         C
  47 One rich man in ten     with a satisfied mind.
  48
  49 C          G               F           C
  50 Once I was winning      in fortune and fame;
  51      C            G                   F              C
  52 Everything that I dreamed of to get a start in lifes game.
  53     C           F   G                  C
  54 But suddenly it happened, I lost every dime,
  55         C         G            F         C
  56 But I'm richer by far   with a satisfied mind.
  57
  58 C           G                F                 C
  59 Money can't buy back    your youth when you're old
  60      C                  G             F                 C
  61 Or a friend when you're lonesome or a love that's grown cold;
  62     C          G             F         C
  63 The wealthiest person   is a pauper at times
  64    C            G              F         C
  65 Compared to the man     with a satisfied mind.
  66
  67 C            G             F            C
  68 When life is over,      my time has run out,
  69    C              G               F                 C
  70 My friends and my loved ones I'll leave, there's no doubt.
  71     C             F  G                      C
  72 But one thing for certain, when it comes my time,
  73      C              G            F         C
  74 I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.
  75
  76 C        F     G                          C
  77 How many times have     you heard someone say.

  84 <p>This is played very loosely. The chords used are all in the 7th
  85 position, so either use a capo on the 7th fret with the chords E, A/e
  86 and B11, or play without a capo with the barre chords B, E/b and
  87 F#11. Since the outcome is the same, I thought I might as well use
  88 the capoed chords in the tab.<br />
  89 The A/e could be an Esus4 as well (022200). When the bass comes in
  90 towards the end of the first verse, it playes E and F# (i.e. A and B
  91 relative to the capo), which fits well with Esus4 also. <br />
  92 The second line is played without the first A/e in verses 2 and 3.</p>
