    Turn! Turn! Turn!

E        B7   A                       E
How many times have you heard someone say?
             B7   A                     E
if I had his money I could do things my way
                B7  A                     E
But little they know that it's so hard to find
                B7 A                 E
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.

E          B7    A                E
Once I was winning in fortune and fame
                   B7  A                             E
Everything I could wish for to get a start in life's game,
                 B7      A              E
Then suddenly it happened, I lost every dime.
                  B7 A                 E
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind.

            B7      A                       E
Money won't buy back your youth when you're old
                     B7   A                        E
A friend when you're lonely or a love that's grown cold.
               B7    A               E
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
                B7 A                 E
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind.

                B7  A                 E
When my life is over, my time has run out
                  B7       A                       E
My friends and my loved ones will weep, there's no doubt.
                    B7     A                  E
But one thing's for certain, when it comes my time
                B7       A                 E
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.
