Ray Bolger ­ If I only had a Brain

Tom: D

D7 G Am 7 Bm7 C
I could while away the hours conferrin' with the flowers,

G Am7 Bm Bbm7
Consulting with the rain;

C C/B Am7 Am7/G D D/C D/B

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

D7 G Am7 Bm7 D9 D7
if I only had a brain.

D7 G Am 7 Bm7 C
I'd unravel ev'ry riddle for any individdle

G Am7 Bm7 Bbm7

In trouble or in pain

C C/B Am7 Am7/G D D/C D/B

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

D7 G Am7 G G7
if I only had a brain.

Bridge:

C Cdim Bm7/5­ E7 Am7 Dm7 D7 G G/F# Em

Oh, I ­­ could tell you why ­­ the ocean's near the shore,

F#m7 B7 Em B+
I could think of things I'd never thunk before,

A7 D D7
And then I'd sit and think some more.

D7 G Am 7 Bm7 C
I would not be just a nuffin', my head all full of stuffin',

G Am7 Bm7 Bbm7

My heart all full of pain;

C C/B Am7 Am7/G D D/C D/B

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

D7 G Am7 Bm7 Am7 G

If I only had a brain.
