Chords with lyrics
Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)
Intro: F
F Am
I could while away the hours conferrin' with the flowers,
F
Consulting with the rain;
Am G
And my head I'd be a scratchin' while my thoughts were busy hatchin'
F
if I only had a brain.
F Am
I'd unravel ev'ry riddle for any individdle
F
In trouble or in pain
Am G
With the thoughts that I'd be thinkin', I could be another Lincoln
F
if I only had a brain.
Bridge:
F G F F
Oh, I--could tell you why - - the ocean's near the shore,
G F
I could think of things I'd never thunk before,
D D
And then I'd sit and think some more.
F Am
I would not be just a nuffin', my head all full of stuffin',
F
My heart all full of pain;
Am G
I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry
F
If I only had a brain
(Whistle over verse chords)
(Bridge)
(Last verse)
Am G
And perhaps I'd deserve you and be even worthy erv you
F
If I only had a brain.
