I could while away the hours
F#m Em7
conferrin' with the flowers
D G D
consulting with the rain
G
and my head I'd be a-scratchin
A7
while my thoughts were busy hatching
D G D
if I only had a brain
Em7
I'd unravel any riddle
F#m Em7
for any individdle
D G D
in trouble or in pain
G
with the thoughts that I'd be thinkin'
A7

D G D
if I only had a brain

F#m Em7
my head all full of stuffing
D G D
my heart all full of pain
G

A7

D G D G D G D
if I only had a brain
