Ray Bolger – If I Only Had A Brain chords

Intro:  G

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

  GConsulting with the rain;

       Em				                                  DAnd my head I'd be a scratchin' while my thoughts were busy hatchin'

     Gif I only had a brain.


      G                                             Em             I'd unravel ev'ry riddle for any individdle 

   G		      In trouble or in pain

         Em					                                DWith the thoughts that I'd be thinkin', I could be another Lincoln

     Gif I only had a brain.


Bridge:

    C                                D                C                            GOh, I--could tell you why          - -          the ocean's near the shore,

	      D                                                    CI could think of things I'd never thunk before,

	        E		    AAnd then I'd sit and think some more.


  G			                            Em             I would not be just a nuffin', my head all full of stuffin',

   G			My heart all full of pain;

        Em			                                     DI would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry

       Em			                                 D            And perhaps I'd deserve you and be even worthy erv you

     GIf I only had a brain.
