I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers
-5 5 5 5 5 5
Consultin' with the rain.
-6 6 -5 -9 8 <-7 -7 7
And my head I'd be scratchin' while
-6 6 6 10-9 8<-7
my thoughts were busy hatchin'
-7 7 -6-6 -6 -6 -6
If I only had a brain.
I'd unravel every riddle for any individ'le,
In trouble or in pain.
With the thoughts you'll be thinkin'
you could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain.

Oh, I could tell you why The ocean's near the shore.
<-7 -7 7 <-6 7 <-6 7<-6 7 -7 -6
I could think of things I never thunk before.
7 -7 -8 -9 -8 -7 7 8
And then I'd sit, and think some more.
-7 <-7 8 -7 -6 7 -7-6 7 -7 -6 -5 6 -6 -5
I would not be just a nothin' my head all full of stuffin'
-5 5 5 5 5 5
My heart all full of pain.
-6 6 -5 -9 8 <-7 -7 7 -6 6 6 10-9 8<-7
I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry,
-7 7 -6-6 -6 -6 -6
If I only had a brain.
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
