Chords for The Wizard Of Oz: If I Only Had A Brain with lyrics

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] Baa! _
_ [Dm] Shoo!
Ski [G]-dattle!
[E] Scram!
You see, [A] I can't [Dm] even scare a crow.
[G] They come [E] from miles around just to eat [A] in my field and [Dm] laugh in my face.
[D] Baa!
Ah-ha!
_ _ [G] Said a scarecrow swinging on a [D] pole
[G] To a black [D] bird sitting [G] on a fence
[A] Oh, the Lord [D] gave me [C] a [D] soul
But forgot to give me [G] common _ sense
Said the black [Em] bird, well, well, _
[D] well
What in thunder would you do [A] with common _ [D] sense?
[Am] Said the scarecrow, [C] twit be pleasing [A] just to reason out [Dm] the reason
[D] Of the whichness and the whyness and [G] the whence
_ [D] If I had an ounce [Ab] of common [D] _ _ sense
[G] If I had an ounce [F] of common [D] _ _
sense
What [Bm] would you do, scarecrow? _
_ I [Gb] could [G] while away the hours
[Em] Conferring with the [D] flowers, consulting with the [G] _ rain
_ [Am] And my head I'd be scratching
While [D] my thoughts were busy hatching
[G] If I only had a [Cm] brain
_ [D] _
[Em] I'd unravel [G] every riddle
[Am] For any individual [Em] in [A] trouble or in pain
_ [G] With [C] the thoughts [Am] you'd be thinking, you [D] could be another Lincoln
[G] If I only had a _
[Dm] _ brain
_ _ [C] Oh, [Gm] I could tell [Bm] you _ [Ab] why
[Am] The [D] ocean's near the shore
[G] [Gb] You could think of [Ab] things you never [Em] thunk
_ _ And then [A] I'd sit _ and think some [D] more
[G] I would not be just a nothing
My head all full of stuff and my heart all full of pain _ _
_ [Am] I would [A] dance and be merry
[D] Life would be a ding-a-derry
[G] If I only [Em] had a [G] brain
Well, [E] that was wonderful!
Why, if our scarecrow back in Kansas could [G] do that,
The crows would be scared to [Am] pieces!
They would?
Uh-huh!
[D] Where's Kansas?
That's where I [G] live.
And I want to get back there [Em] so badly,
[Bm] I'm going all the way [Em] to the Emerald City
To get [E] the Wizard of Oz to help me.
[G] You're gonna see a wizard?
Yep!
Do you think if I [Am] went with you, this wizard would give me some brains?
[D] I couldn't say.
[G] But even if he didn't, you'd be no worse off than you are now.
Yeah, that's true.
[D] _ [G] _ _ [C] _
Oh, [Ebm] I could [D] tell you _ why
The [Am] _ [D] ocean's near [G] the shore _
I could [Am] think of things [B] I never thunk [Em] before
And then he'd sit [A] and think [Gb] some more
_ [G] Gosh, it would be awful pleasing
To reason out the reason
For things I can't _ explain
_ _ [C] Then perhaps I'd deserve ya
[D] And be even worthy of ya
[Am] _ I could dance and be [D] merry
Life would be a ding-a-derry
[G] If I [Gm] only _
[Em] _ _ _ Had a brain! _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
