Introdução: D C#m7 Bm7 Cdim A6             
 
E7  A    E7     Cdim Bm5-/7   A 
When I'm worried and I can't sleep 
  Cdim Bm5-/7   A    Bm5-/7  E7   F#7 
I count my blessings instead of sheep 
E7  A C#m5-/7   F#m     D6/9      Fdim   E7 
And I  fall asleep counting my blessings 
E7 A E7       Cdim   Bm5-/7   A 
When my bankroll is getting small 
  Cdim Bm5-/7   A     Bm5-/7 E7 F#7 
I think of when I had none at all 
E7  A C#m5-/7  F#m    D6/9         E7   A 
And I  fall asleep counting my blessings 
Bridge 
  D           C#m7        Bm7      Cdim     A6             
I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads 
  D         F#7             B7         Bm5-/7        E7 
And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds 
E7  A     E7      Cdim Bm5-/7      A 
If you're worried and you  can't sleep 
   Cdim  Bm5-/7     A        Bm5-/7 E7 F#7 
Just count your blessings instead of sheep 
E7   A  C#m5-/7     F#m    D6/9      E7    A 
And you'll fall asleep counting your blessings
