Then I’d Be Satisfied With Life Harmonica Tab
Then I’d Be Satisfied With Life Harmonica Tab
George M. Cohan
From the Musical “The Governor’s Son”
Where it was sung by George M. Cohan
*Verse 1*
4 -6 6 -6 7 6 -5 6
How seldom will you meet a man
-7 -6 6 -6 7 6
As thro’ this world you go,
4 -5 5 -5 -6 -8 7 5 -5 -7
A man, I mean, who’s satisfied with life,
-7 -7 -6 -7 -8 -6
He may be blessed with wealth
6 -6 -8 6 6 -7 -4
but where’s his health? Don’t you know?
6 6 -6 -7 7 -8 -7 -6 6 7
His fight for millions brings him care and strife.
-6 -6 6 -6 7 6
The king both great and grand
-5 6 7 -5 5 -5 -6 -4
Who has a land at his command
-4 5 -4 -5 6 -6 7 -7 -6 -8
Will want his flag to reach another shore,
6 6 6 -6 -7 -6 6
Ah this life we lead is greed,
5 -5 6 -6 -7 -6 6
Tho’ there are some things I need
6 6 -6 6 -6 -6 -7 -6 -7 6 7
If I had them I would ask for nothing more____
*Chorus*
7 -7 -7 6 7 -7 -7 6 6 7
All I want is fifty million dollars,
7 7 -7 -7 6 7 -7 -7 6 -6
And seal skins to protect me from the cold.
-6 -6 -8 8 -8 -6 -8 8 -8 -6 6 -7
If I only knew how stocks would go in Wall Street,
-6 -6 -6 6 6 -6 6 -4 6 -6 6
And was living in a mansion built of gold.
7 7 7 -7 -7 6 7 -7 -7 6 -6 -7
If the Vanderbilts would let me spend their money
7 7 7 -7 -7 6 7 -7 -7 6 -6
If I only had an heiress for a wife
-6 -6 -8 8 -8 -6 -8 8 -8 -6 6 -7
If I only stood in with the steel trust rake off
-6 6 -6 7 -7 -6 -6 6 -6 6 -5
Then… I… know that I’d be satisfied… with life.
*Verse 2*
4 4 -6 6 -6 7 6 -5
In a little brown stone shanty
6 7 -6 6 -6 7 6
Upon old Fifth Avenue
4 -5 5 -5 -6 -8 7 5 -6 -7
‘Tis there I share my poverty with Pa’s
-7 -7 -7 -6 -7 -8 -6 6 -6
But while things are coming hard for us,
-8 6 -5 6 -7 -4
I’m satisfied ’tis true,
6 6 -6 -7 7 -8 -7 -6 6 7
To smoke my little sixty cent cigars.
-6 -6 6 -6 7 6
There are some people think
-5 6 -7 -5 5 -5 -6 -4
A farmer’s life is but a blank,
-4 5 -4 -5 6 -6 7 -7 -6 -8
And long for city’s glamor night and day,
6 6 6 6 -6 -7 -6 6
But if to me the choice you give,
5 -5 6 -6 -7 -6 6
I will settle down and live,
6 6 -6 6 -6 -6 -7 -6 -7 6 7
In some quiet little village like Broadway____
*Chorus*
7 7 -7 -7 6 7 -7 -7 6 6 7
And all I want is partridge for my breakfast
7 7 -7 -7 6 7 -7 -7 6 -6
A champagne fountain sprinkling at my feet.
-8 8 -8 -6 -8 8 -8 -6 6 -7
Pierpont Morgan waiting on the table
-6 -6 6 6 -6 6 -4 6 -6 6
And Sousa’s band a-playing while I eat.
7 7 7 -7 -7 6 7 -7 -7 6 -6 -7
If I only owned the Western Union cable
7 7 -7 -7 6 7 -7 -7 6 -6
If Hetty Green would only be my wife
-6 -6 -8 8 -8 -6 -8 8 -8 6 6 -7
If I only owned the Pennsylvania Railroad
-6 6 -6 7 -7 -6 -6 6 -6 6 -5
Then… I… know that I’d be satisfied… with life.
