If I Only Had A Brain Ukulele chords by Ray Bolger

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.
