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.
