(Scarecrow)
F Gm7
I could while away the hours conferrin' with the flowers,
F
consultin' with the rain
Gm7 C7
And my head I'd be scratchin' while my thoughts were busy hatchin'
F
If I only had a brain
F Gm7 F
I'd unravel any riddle for any individ'le in trouble or in pain
(Dorothy)
Gm7 C7
With the thoughts you'd be thinkin' you could be another Lincoln
F
If you only had a brain
(Scarecrow)
Bb F Gm7 C7 F
Oh, I would tell you why the ocean's near the shore
Gm7 A7 Dm
I could think of things I never thunk before
G C7
And then I'd sit and think some more
F Gm7
I would not be just a nuffin', my head all full of stuffin',
F
my heart all full of pain
Gm7 C7
I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry
F
If I only had a brain

How to play If I Only Had A Brain on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. The groove sits around 100 bpm, a medium pace, and it swings lightly. On this page the song is in F major. The chords put it squarely at the skilled level. Swing the eighths lightly and keep the vaudeville bounce relaxed.

I probably sound incredibly dumb right now, but does anyone know what the starting note is? I can’t seem to make it sound right.
I think it is fine.
Wrong, wrong, WRONG! F, G-7, A-7, Ab dim. And on and on. You should have researched this a bit better.
