Chords for Ray Wylie Hubbard "Count My Blessings"

_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Mama give me a [Em] nickel and a deck of cards
[E] She _ said, go play out in the backyard
_ _ [E] _
Walking down the alley come my Uncle Lonnie _
He said, let me teach you about three card money
You _ take an ace of hearts and two black queens
Flip them over so they can't be seen
Spin them around four or five times
Bet a nickel find an ace when he dime
Twenty minutes later I had thirty-five dollars
Singing, ain't misbehavin' by the great Batswaller
I believe _ I'm gonna count my blessings
_ _ I believe I'm gonna count my blessings
[Em] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ Well, I saw Black Crow on the fence post
_ [E] _ _ Singing away like Sam Hopkins goes
_ _ _ He sang, when you see I ain't breathing no more _ _ _
Nail my feathers to the old barn door
_ [D] _
Drag my carcass off behind the shed
Just to make sure you're [E] pretty sure I'm dead
Ask a Ouija board if you keep quite tail
Or if I start to stink like the floors in hell
Go to Nava Soda after I'm done
Don't do you no good to sit around crying
I believe I'm gonna count my blessings _
I believe I'm [D] gonna count [Em] my blessings _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ So I got me a pencil and an old skin book
When _ I heard Bertha Franklin shot and killed Sam Cooke
_ Wrote down December 11th, 1964
_ _ I ain't gonna be twisting that away no more
La Hossie and the Motel had to bust a downed door
Sam swallowed and his money's never counted for
It took fifteen minutes for the jury to decide
The cause of death is just a fat homicide
Lizzy Boy is never questioned by the prosecution
And one month later she's arrested for prostitution
I believe I'm gonna count my blessings
I believe I'm gonna count my blessings
I believe we all should count our blessings _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Thank you very much.
[G] I had a great time.
[B] This is Rick Richards. _
Thank you. _ _ _ _ _ _
