If I Only Had A Brain

[G]

I could [G]while away the hours conferrin' with the flowers,[Em]

Co[G]nsulting with the rain;

And my [Em]head I'd be a scratchin' while my thoughts were busy hatchin'      [D]

if I [G]only had a brain.

I'd un[G]ravel ev'ry riddle for any individdle         [Em]

In [G]trouble or in pain

With the [Em]thoughts that I'd be thinkin', I could be another Lincoln              [D]

if I [G]only had a brain.

Oh, [C]I--could tell you why          - [D]-          the oc[C]ean's near the shore,        [G]

I could think [D]of things I'd never thunk before,                    [C]

And then I'd sit[E] and think some more[A].

I [G]would not be just a nuffin', my head all full of s[Em]tuffin',

My [G]heart all full of pain;

I would [Em]dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry             [D]

If I [G]only had a brain

(Whistle over verse chords)

(Bridge)

(Last verse)

And per[Em]haps I'd deserve you and be even worthy erv you           [D]

If I [G]only had a brain.
