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.
