“Counting Stars” is a great fun tune to play, although the speed can make it tricky to keep up with! The chorus and other melodic parts sounded great on my flute, I hope you enjoy playing it too 🙂

Lately I’ve been
F# G# F#-E G#
I’ve been losing sleep
F# – F# G#-A G# F#
Dreaming about the things
E G# C# E
That we could be…
E F#-G# B F#
But, baby I’ve been
F# G# F#-E G#
I’ve been praying hard
F# F# G# A – G# F#-E
Said no more counting dollars
G# F# F#-C# E
We’ll be counting stars
C# G# F# F#-E E-C#
Yeah, we’ll be counting stars…
F# G# G# G# G# G# G#-G# G#-F#
I see this life like a swinging vine,
G# G# G# G#-B B F#
Swing my heart across the line
G# F# E C# G#-F# F#-C#
In my face is flashing signs,
G# F# E C# G# F# F#
Seek it out and ye shall find.
G# G# G# G# G# F#
Old but I’m not that old
G# G# G# G# B F#
Young, but I’m not that bold
E G# F# E C# G# F# F#-C#
And I don’t think the world is sold ~
G# F# F#-E G# F# E-C#
I’m just doing what we’re told

By doing the right thing…
^C# ^C# B-^C#
I could lie,
^C#-B ^C# ^C#-B ^C#
Couldn’t I, couldn’t I?
^C#-B-F# E F# G#
Everything that kills me
F# E C# C-C#
Makes me feel alive…
