C#dim7 (x4535o)
Abdim7 (4x3434)
A7 (5o565o)
Intro: F A7 Dm7 C7 x2
I could while away the hours conferrin' with the flowers,
F Dm7 Gm7 C7
Consulting with the rain;
F (F7 8th fret)
And my head I'd be scratchin', While my thoughts were surely hatchin'
Bb7 Gm7 C7 C#dim7
If I only had a brain.
Dm7 C7
I'd unravel ev'ry riddle for any individdle
F Dm7 Gm7 C7
In trouble or in pain
F (F7 8th fret)
With the thoughts I'd be thinkin', I could be another Lincoln
Bb Gm7 C7
If I only had a brain
F (F7 8th fret)
Oh, I-----could tell you why - - the ocean's near the shore,
Bb7 Abdim7 (4x3434) Am7 D7/F# Gm7 C7 F
I could think of things I'd never thunk before,
Gm7 A7 (5o565o) Dm7
And then I'd sit and think some more.
Gm7 B7 – C7
I would not be just a nuffin', my head all full of stuffin',
F Dm7 Gm7 C7
My heart all full of pain;
F (F7 8th fret)
And perhaps I'd deserve you and be even worthy of you
Bb7 Gm7 C7 C#dim7
If I only had a brain.
Dm7 A7 (5o565o)
If I only had a brain
F A7 (bar)
If I only had a brain
Dm7 C7
F A7 Dm7 C7 outro
