Beat A Drum

R.E.M
 F
   The sun reflected in
 G
  The back of my eye.
 FG
   I knocked my head against the sky.

 AbC
   The dragonflies are busy buzzing me.
 AbC
   A seahorse as if we were in the sea.

 F
   Half way from coal
 G
  Half way from diamond.
 FG
   My fall knocked a mean chip out of me.
 AbC
   Gathering as far as I can reach.
 Ab
   Perched up on a precipice
 C
  And this is what I've seen.

 G
 This is all I want,
 FC
It's all I need. 
 G
 This is all I am.
 FC
It's everything, 
 G
 This is all I want
 FC
It's all I need 

A bluejay hectors from the felled Catalpa tree.
Doctorate in science and a theologians dream

The dragonflies are trying to lecture me.
The seahorses as if we were in the sea.

But this is all I want,
It's all I need.
This is all I am,
It's everything.
This is all I want,
It's all I need.

 F
   Beat a drum for me
 G
   Like a butterfly wing.
 F
   Tropical storm across the ocean.

But don't explain I'm sure I'll want to know
Don't forget we're just half way from coal.

This is all I want,
It's all I need.
This is all I am,
It's everything.
This is all I want,
It's all I need.
