[Verse 1]
C** G* C
Knew a man tought he had it all,
Am*** F
hundred foot yacht he loved to show off.
C** G* C
Had the whole wide world at his beckon call,
Am** G* C
yeah, I knew a man thought he had it all.
F C/E
But the richest man that I ever knew made a living with his hands,
Dm C/E** C**
wore a 13 dollar pair of boots, sportin' a farmers tan.
F C/E
Early in the morning I'd hear him loading up his tools
Dm* C/E* F
and in a rusty ol' Chevy I'd ride to school with
F** G* C** G* Am F** G* C
the richest man I ever knew.
[Verse 2]
C** G/B* C
I knew a man tought he had it all,
Am** G* F
built a big house with a ten foot wall.
C** G/B* C
And though his friends were mostly bought
Am** G* C
he still thought he had it all.
F C/E
But the richest man that I ever knew live behind a picket fence,
Dm C/E** C**
he met my mom at 22, the could barely pay the rent.
F C/E
After dinner at the diner he'd tip more then he could afford
Dm* C/E* F
and on the way back home I'd sit next to
F** G* C** G* Am F** G* C
the richest man I ever knew.
[Verse 3]
C** G* C
I knew a man tought he had it all,
Am** G* F
drew his final breath last fall.
C** G* C
Well, the nurse didn't quite knew who to call for
Am** G* C
the man who thought he had it all.
F C/E
But the richest man that I ever knew filled the old stone church
Dm C/E** C**
and the stories that we listened to told what his life was worth.
F C/E
He went to meet his Maker in his only Sunday suit
Dm* C/E* F
on the day that I said goodbye to
F** G* C
the richest men I ever knew.
[Outro]
F C/E Dm*
Someday again I'll sit next to
F** G* Am F** G* C*
the richest men I ever knew.
