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 brain.

(C)I'd (F)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 (F7)brain.

Oh, ture (Bb)I could tell you (D7)why the (Gm7)ocean's (C7)near the (Fmaj7)shore.

I could (Em7)think of things I (A7)never thunk (Dm)before,

and then I'd (G)sit

and think some (C7)more.

(C)I'd be (F)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.

(F7)Oh, ture (Bb)me a (D7)balcony, (Gm7)above a (C7)voice sings (Fmaj7)low,

"Wherefore (Em7)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 heart.

(C7)Life is
