C                F                G                 C
When I die there won't be much to   salvage from my earnings,
  C           F              G            F     C
I never had a lot of land or houses to my name.
     C            F                   G           C
I've never been a corporate prince on Madison and New York,
  C            F             Gsus4           G
I never held a diamond in my hand.

    F                  C           G    E/G#     Am
But I've seen children laughing as only children can
    F                C        G                 C       F      C      F G
and I've known my Creator and I've been a happy man.

  C            F               G               C
I never really loved the way I   saw it in the movies
      C            F           G            F   C
but I had myself a woman of my own.
    C                  F             G                   C
The place we lived was modest and we   kept the yard together,
  C              F               Gsus4           G
I never traveled far from my hometown.

    F                C            E            Am
But I've heard music playing that made me understand
    F                     C          G                 C       F      C      Asus4   A
and touched the hearts of heaven and I've been a happy man.
