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 Chorus | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsC  F  G  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
