Count Your Blessings (Instead of Sheep)
Words & Music by Irving Berlin
Recorded by Bing Crosby, 1954
(From the movie "White Christmas")
E7 A E7 Cdim Bm7-5 A
When I'm worried and I can't sleep,
Cdim Bm7-5 A Bm7-5 E7 F#7
I count my blessings instead of sheep,
E7 A C#m7-5 F#m D9 Fdim E7
And I fall asleep counting my bless - ings.
E7 A E7 Cdim Bm7-5 A
When my bankroll is get - ting small,
Cdim Bm7-5 A Bm7-5 E7 F#7
I think of when I had none at all
E7 A C#m7-5 F#m D9 E7 A
And I fall asleep counting my bless - ings.
Bridge:
D C#m7 Bm7 Cdim A6
I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads,
D F#7 B7 Bm7-5 E7
And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds.
E7 A E7 Cdim Bm7-5 A
If you're worried and you can't sleep,
Cdim Bm7-5 A Bm7-5 E7 F#7
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
E7 A C#m7-5 F#m D9 E7 A
And you'll fall asleep counting your bless - ings.
