R.E.M. - Beat A Drum
F G
the sun reflected in the back of my eye.
F G
I knocked my head against the sky.
Bb C
The dragonflies are busy buzzing me.
Bb C
A seahorse as if we were in the sea
F G
Half way from coal, half way to diamond.
F G
my fall knocked a mean chip out of me.
Bb C
gathering as far as I can reach.
Bb C
perched up on the precipice and this is what I've seen
Gm F C
this is all I want, it's all I need.
Gm F C
this is all I am, it's everything.
Gm F C
this is all I want, it's all I need
F G
a bluejay heckles from the felled Catalpa tree.
F G
doctorate in science and the theologians dream.
Bb C
the dragonflies are trying to lecture me.
Bb C
a seahorse as if we were in the sea
Gm F C
but this is all I want, it's all I need.
Gm F C
this is all I am, it's everything.
Gm F C
this is all I want, it's all I need.
INSTRUMENTAL
F G
beat a drum for me like a butterfly wing.
F G
tropical storm across the ocean.
Bb C
but don't explain I'm sure I'll want to know
Bb C
but don't forget we're just halfway from home.
Gm F C
this is all I want, it's all I need.
Gm F C
this is all I am, it's everything.
Gm F C
this is all I want, it's all I need.
Dm7 C F
