Brain

Verse:
D                             G
I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers
D
Consultin' with the rain.
       G                               A
And my head I'd be scratchin' while my thoughts were busy hatchin'
     D
If I only had a brain.

Verse:
    D                        G
I'd unravel every riddle for any individ'le,
   D
In trouble or in pain.
         G                                A
With the thoughts I'd be thinkin' I could be another Lincoln
     D
If I only had a brain.

Bridge:
    G                D
Oh, I could tell you why
    Em      A        D
The ocean's near the shore.
        Em                A           D
I could think of things I never thunk before.
             E7                  A7
And then I'd sit, and think some more.

Verse:
        D                        G
I would not be just a nuffin' my head all full of stuffin'
   D
My heart all full of pain.
        G                              A
I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry,
     D
If I only had a brain.


Heart

Verse:
       D                        G
When a man's an empty kettle he should be on his mettle,
    D
And yet I'm torn apart.
     G                            A
Just because I'm presumin' that I could be kind-a-human,
     D
If I only had heart.

Verse:
       D                          G
I'd be tender - I'd be gentle and awful sentimental
  D
Regarding Love and Art.
       G                                 A
I'd be friends with the sparrow, and the boys who shoots the arrows
     D
If I only had a heart.

Bridge:
        G           D
Picture me - a balcony.
Em      A           D
Above a voice sings low.
Em            A         D
Wherefore art thou, Romeo?
         E7        A7
I hear a beat, how sweet.

Verse:
        D                 G
Just to register emotion, jealousy - devotion,
    D
And really feel the part.
        G                              A
I could stay young and chipper and I'd lock it with a zipper,
     D
If I only had a heart.


The Nerve

Verse:
        D                            G
Life is sad, believe me, Missy, when you're born to be a sissy
    D
Without the vim and verve.
    G                               A
But I could change my habits, never more be scared of rabbits
     D
If I only had the nerve.

Verse:
    D                             G
I'm afraid there's no denyin' I'm just a dandelion,
  D
A fate I don't deserve.
    G                             A
But I could show my prowess, be a lion not a mowess
     D
If I only had the nerve

Bridge:
   G            D
Oh I'd be in my stride,
  Em        A      D
A king down to the core
        Em                A            D
I would roar the way I've never roared before
             E7                     A7
And then I'd rrrwoof! and roar some more

Verse:
        D                                          G
I would show the dinosaurus, who's king around the forres'
  D
A king they better serve
    G                            A
Why with my regal beezer I could be another Caesar
     D
If I only had the nerve
