    Turn! Turn! Turn!

E5        B5   A5                       E5
How many times have you heard someone say?
             B5   A5                     E5
if I had his money I could do things my way
                B5  A5                     E5
But little they know that it's so hard to find
                B5 A5                 E5
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.

E5          B5    A5                E5
Once I was winning in fortune and fame
                   B5  A5                             E5
Everything I could wish for to get a start in life's game,
                 B5      A5              E5
Then suddenly it happened, I lost every dime.
                  B5 A5                 E5
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind.

            B5      A5                       E5
Money won't buy back your youth when you're old
                     B5   A5                        E5
A friend when you're lonely or a love that's grown cold.
               B5    A5               E5
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
                B5 A5                 E5
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind.

                B5  A5                 E5
When my life is over, my time has run out
                  B5       A5                       E5
My friends and my loved ones will weep, there's no doubt.
                    B5     A5                  E5
But one thing's for certain, when it comes my time
                B5       A5                 E5
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.
