Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[F#dim]Said a sc[Cdim]arecrow[G]
[C]swinging on a pole
[G]To [Am]a bla[G]ckbird sitting on [C]a fence[Bm][E]
Oh, the Lord [Am]gave [D]me a soul
But for[Am]got to give me [D]common [Bm]sense
[Am]Said[D] the blackbird[G], well[C], well, well[Bm],
[Fdim]what in [Abdim]thunder woul[D]d you
do with common [Am]sense?[D]
Said the [Dsus4]scarecrow,
it would be pleasing
[Dm]just [Dsus4]to reason out
the reas[D]on of [C]the whichness
[D]and the whininess an[G]d the
[Fdim]whence.
[Abdim]If I had an[C] ounce of common sense,[G][D]
[B]I could whi[G]le away the hou[Em]rs
confer[Am]ring with the [D]flowers,
con[G]sulting with the [Em]rain.[Dm]
[G]While my [C]head I'd be scratching,
while my [D]thoughts were busy hatchin'
if I [G]only had [Em]a brain.[Am]
[D]I'd un[G]ravel [Em]any riddle
for [Am]any individual i[G]n trouble or in [Em]pain.[Dm]
[G]With my tho[C]ughts I'd be thinkin'
I could [D]be an[G]other Lin[D]coln
if I [G]only had [Em]a brain.[Dm][G]
Oh, [C]I c[C#dim]ould tell you [Bm]why
[E]the oce[Am]an's [D]near the sho[G]re
I [C]could [F#dim]think of things
I [B]never thunk be[Em]fore
[G]An d then I'd sit [A]and think some [G]more
[D]I would not[G] be jus[Em]t a -nuffin'
My head [Am]all full o[D]f stuffin'
My [G]heart all full of [Dm]pain
[G]And per[C]haps I'd deserve you
and be [D]even worthy of you
if I [G]only had [Em]a brain[Dm]
[G]Oh, I c[C]oul[C#dim]d tell you why[B] the[Bm][E]
[Abdim]ocean's n[Am]ear t[D]he shore[G]
[Em]I could th[F#dim]ink of thi[Cdim]ngs
I [B]never thunk be[Em]fore
[G]An d [Em]that I'd sit [G]an [A]d think some mor[Am]e
[G]I w[D]ould not [Em]be just a -nuffin'
My [Am]head all full [D]of stuffin'
[C]My [G]heart all full of [Em]pain[Dm]
[G]And per[C]haps I'd deserve you
And be [D]even worthy of you
If I [C#dim]only had a br[C]ain[Cm][Bm]
[Bb]I'd be s[A]mart and c[Bbdim]lever
I [Bm]could love [E]forever
Or if I [Am]only [D]had a [C#dim]brain
