"Trick is to Count Your Blessings" 10/20/25-Derek Morris/Curt Davis/Daron Tapscott No capo, key of D [Intro] D Am C G [Verse 1]
     D
Young boy barely in his teens

    Am
Tears in his eyes under a tall oak tree

     C                                     G
Shovel in his hand, learning best friends

               D        D
don't stay too long

     D
Sweet momma nearly 33

    Am
Hoping every day she'll get to see

    C                                     G
Her babies grow up when the doctor said

             D
what was wrong

  Am
But the day she rang that bell,

           C
she could see

   Am                                          C
Through the pain and fear, it all came clear

                    D
how to truly live free
[Chorus]
      G
Stop looking for the bad in everybody

                             D
Look for as much good as you can find

                 G
Don't let those dark days consume you

                   D
Just fill them with sunshine

                       G
Yeah, there's a million things that go wrong

                     D
and just a few that go right

    Am                  C               D
Looking back I finally get the message

            D                         G
The trick is to count your blessings
D Am C G [Verse 2]
  G                            D
In my truck heading down the road

  Am
On the way to that nursing home

   C                 G        D
She don't remember who I am

   D
But that smile on her face

  Am
Takes me back to a special place

C                         D
 it always feels at home

  Am                   C            D
In  moments that she remembers me

   Am                    C                  D
That's the closest to heaven I'll ever be
[Chorus]

When the world ain't always safe and warm
