Counting Song For Bitter Children

	  		


vieurd:   “The general chord progression is F-Csus4-Bbsus4-F-Csus4 
John seems strum the sixth string on the F chord and the fifth and 
sixth strings on the Csus4 and Bbsus4 somewhat lightly in order to 
place emphasis on the guitar melody.” 

|  F  |  Csus4  |  Bbsus4  |  F  Csus4  | 

F 
   one, two 
Csus4 
   I don't love you. 
Bbsus4 
   three, four 
F     Csus4 
   Anymore 

one, three 
Stay away from me 
five, seven 
Good children get nothing 

F 
   Na-na-na Na-na-na Na-na 
Csus4 
   Na-na-na Na-na-na Na-na 
Bbsus4 
   Na-na-na  Na-na-na   Na-na 
F              Csus4 
Na Na-na Na-na Na 


one, two, two and a half 
Stick around here? Don’t make me laugh 

two-and-a-half, three, four-point-five 
The new day's dawning and my hour's arrived 

one, two 
I got things to do 

one, three* 
I got people to see, I got people that wanna see me 

Na na na… 

Na na na… 


*This is what he sings in the recording. 
According to John, “The final line actually goes 

three fours lined up in a row 
I got people to see, I got people that wanna see me 

so that the last verse has a "one two three four" 
except that the third one is "three fours," O young John tryna be all clever”
