Happy Man
Words and Music by Pat Terry
on Songs of the South
Copyright 1976
Intro: C F/C Dm/C (twice)
C F G C
When I die there won't be much to salvage from my earnings
F G F/C C
I've never had a lot of land or houses to my name
Dm7/C C F G C
I've never been a corporate prince on Madison in New York
F Gsus4 G
I've never held a diamond in my hand
F C/E Dm7 C G G#dim7 Am
But I've seen chil - dren laughing as only children can
Am/G F C/E Dm7 C G F/G C
And I've known my Cre-a-tor and I've been a happy man
F/C Dm/C C F/C Dm/C C F/C Dm/C F/C Dm/C
C F G C
I never really loved the way I saw it in the movies
F G F/C C
But I had myself a woman of my own
Dm7/C C F G C
The place we lived was modest and we kept the yard together
F Gsus4 G
I never traveled far from my hometown
F C/E Dm7 C G G#dim7 Am
But I've heard mu - sic playing that made me understand
Am/G F C/E Dm7 C G F/G C
And touched the hearts of heaven and I've been a happy man
F/C Dm/C C F/C Dm/C C F/C Dm/C F/C Dm/C
C F G C
Life has had its hard times when I felt the chill of winter
F G F/C C
I can't forget the night when my sweet Julie slipped away
Dm7/C C F G C
But growing old was different than I always thought it would be
F Gsus4 G
The sweetness of my youth just grew with age
F C/E Dm7 C G G#dim7 Am
'Cause I've known wealth and beauty beneath his guiding hand
Am/G F C/E Dm7 C G G#dim7 Am
And knowing soon I'll see him has made me a hap - py man
Am/G F C/E Dm7 C G F/G C
And knowing soon I'll see him has made me a happy man
