This is played in Drop D tuning but you don't have to
set it up that way to play along like this:
[D]I've heard tell of [A]millionaires and [G]billionaires and such
Who [D]gathered all their [A]treasures and still [G]did not have enough
If [D]money could buy [A]peace of mind, I [G]guess they'd have it all
But [D]all the money [A]in the world won'[G]t hold you when yo[A]u fall
Chrosu:
We've got a [G]roof o[A]ver our [D]head and the [G]kids have [A]all been [D]fed
And the [G]women I love [D]most lies close be[E7]side me in our [G]bed
[G]Lord, give me the [D]eyes to see exactly what it's [G]worth
And [G]I will be the [A]richest man on [D]earth
Lord, when I wish I had the things that you gave someone else
I pray that you'll forgive me for just thinkin' of myself
I haven't been as thankful as I know I ought to be
I should be more then satisfied with all you've given me
Chorus
Bridge:
[A]One thing is for certain
It don't [G]matter [A]when you [D]die
[G]If you had a [F#m]million
Or [Em]if you [Em/F#]just got [G]by [A]
Chorus
Yes, I will be the richest man on earth
