Introd: 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.
