If I Only Had A Brain

I could (F)wile away the hours tle,

when (Gm)conferrin' with the flowers, (F)consultin' with the rain.

And my (Gm)head I'd be scratchin' while my (C7)thoughts were busy hatchin',

if I (F)only had a (C)brain.

(F)I'd unravel ev'ry riddle for (Gm)any individdle in (F)trouble or in pain.

With the (Gm)thoughts I'd be thinkin',

I could (C7)be another Lincoln, if I (F)only had a brain.

Oh, ture (Bb)I could tell you (Am)why (D7)the (Gm)ocean's (Cm)near the (Fmaj7)shore.

I could (Em)think of things I (A7)never thunk (Dm)before,

and then I'd (G)sit

and think some (C7)more.

I would (F)not be just a nuffin',

my (Gm)head all full of stuffin',

my (F)heart all full of pain.

And (Gm)perhaps I'd deserve you and be (C7)even worthy erv you,

if I (F)only had a brain.

(C7)When a (F)man's an empty ketsy,

when he (Gm)should be on his mettle,

and (F)yet I'm torn apart.

Just (Gm)because I'm presumin' that I (C7)could be kinda human,

if I (F)only had a heart.

(F)I'd be tender, I'd be gentle and (Gm)awful sentimental (F)regarding love and art.

I'd be (Gm)friends with the sparrows and the (C7)boy that shoots the arrows,

if I (F)only had a heart.

Oh, ture (Bb)me a (Am)balcony.

(D7)(Gm)Above a (Cm)voice sings (Fmaj7)low, "Wherefore (Em)art the thou,

I (A7)Roer me (Dm)beo."

I hear a (G)beat.

and How some (C7)sweet!

Just to (F)register emotion, who's (Gm)jealousy,

devotion, and (F)really feel the part.

I would (Gm)stay young and chipper and I'd (C7)lock it with a zipper,

if I (F)only had a (C7)heart.

Life is
