Lyrics & chords
[Verse 1] [D]I would while away the [Em]hours Conferin' with the [A]flowers [G]Consult[D] in' with the rain And my [G]head I'd [D]be scratchin' While my [A]thoughts were busy [Em]hatchin' [G]If I [D]only had a brain. [G]I'd [Verse 2] [D]unravel every riddle, For [Em]every [A]individle, [G]In trouble [D]or in pain. With [G]the thoughts you could be thinkin', [Em]You could [A]be another lincoln, If you [Em]only [D]had a brain. [G]Oh [Verse 3] [D]I, could tell you [F#m]why,[A] The [Em]ocean's [A]near the [D]shore. [F#m]I could think of things I never thought be[Bm]fore,[D] [F#m]Then I'd [Em]sit, and think some [A]more. [Verse 4] I would [D]not be just a nothin', My head all full of stuffin', [A]My hea[D]rt all full of pain. I would [G]dance and by [D]merry, Life would [A]be a dingle derry, [G]If I [D]only had a brain. [Interlude 1] [D][Em][A][D] [A][G][D][G] [A][G][D][G][D] [Em][A][G][D][G] [A][G][D] [G]Oh [Verse 5] [D]I could tell you w[F#m]hy [A]The oce[Em]an's nea[A]r the sho[D]re. [F#m]I could think of things I never [Em]thought be[Bm]fore And [F#m]then I'd [Em]sit, [E]and think some mor[A]e. [Verse 6] I would [D]not be just a nothin', My head all full [G]of stuffin', [A]My hea[D]rt all full of pain. [F#m]I would danc[G]e and by merr[D]y, Life would [A]be a dingle derry, [G]If I [D]only had a brain. [Outro 1] [D][G][D]
