[N] [G] Okay, this is the [Em] magic time.
Ready?
Yeah.
[Bb]
This is the one.
[G] [N]
This is the take that's gonna work.
No, no, no, no.
You jinxed it.
I don't think [B] so.
Ready?
[Bb] No.
Okay, ready.
[G] I could while
No, that wasn't even a no.
[N] [G] I could while away the hours
Conferring with the flowers
Consulting with the rain
And in my head I'd be
Scratching while [D] my thoughts were
Busy hatching if [G] I only had a brain
I'd unravel every riddle
For [Em] every individual
[G] In trouble or in pain
With the thoughts [C] I'd be thinking
I could be [D] another Lincoln
If [G] I only had a brain
Oh, [C]
I could tell [D] you why
[C] The ocean's near the [G] shore
[D] I could think of things I never thunk [C] before
[Em] And then I'd sit and think some more
[Bm] I [G] would not be just a nothing
My head all full of stuff
And my heart all full of pain
I would dance and be merry
Life would be a [Bb] ding-a-derry
[G] If I only had a brain
Oh,
[D] [G]
[C] I could tell you [D] why
[C] The ocean's near [G] the shore
[D] I could think of things I never [C] thunk before
And then I'd [E] sit and [Bm] think some more
I [G] would not be just a nothing
My head all full of stuff
And my heart all full of pain
And [Em] perhaps I'd deserve you
[C] And be [D]
even worthier [C] of you
[E] If [G] I only had a brain
Ready?
Yeah.
[Bb]
This is the one.
