If I Only Had A Brain by Jeremy Little
If I Only Had A Brain
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:1st fret
Intro: E Ab7 C#m7 B7 x2
E C#m7 F#m7 B7
I could while away the hours conferrin' with the flowers,
E (E7 8th fret)
Consulting with the rain;
A F#m7
And my head I'd be a scratchin'
B7 Ab/C
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
C#m7 B7
If I only had a brain.
E C#m7 F#m7 B7
I'd unravel ev'ry riddle for any individdle
E (E7 8th fret)
In trouble or in pain
A F#m7
With the thoughts that I'd be thinkin',
B7
I could be another Lincoln
E (E7 8th fret)
If I only had a brain.
A Bbdim E/Ab E7/F F#m7 B7 E
Oh, I--could tell you why - - the ocean's near the shore,
Ebdim Ab7 C#m7
I could think of things I'd never thunk before,
F#7 Bb7 – B7
And then I'd sit and think some more.
E C#m7 F#m7 B7
I would not be just a nuffin', my head all full of stuffin',
E (E7 8th fret)
My heart all full of pain;
A F#m7
I would dance and be merry,
B7 Ab/C
life would be a ding-a-derry
C#m7 F#7
If I only had a brain
A F#m7 B7
And perhaps I'd deserve you and be even worthy of you
E
If I only had a brain.
