R.E.M. - Beat A Drum: chords

F
The sun reflected in
     G
The back of my eye.
F                               G
I knocked my head against the sky.
     G#                           C
The dragonflies are busy buzzing me.
   G#                             C
A seahorse as if we were in the sea.

Half way from coal
Half way to diamond
My fall knocked a mean chip out of me
I'm gathering as far as I can reach
Perched up on a precipice
And this is what I've seen

Chorus:
G
This is all I want,
           F    C
It's all I need.
G
This is all I am.
          F     C
It's everything,
G
This is all I want
           F   C
It's all I need

A bluejay hectors from
the felled Catalpa tree
Doctorate in science and a theologian's dream
The dragonflies are trying to lecture me
A seahorse as if we were in the sea

Chorus

Beat a drum for me
Like a butterfly wing
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
