The Lowest Trees Have Tops

Intro A  E  G#m  C#m   B   E   A   C#   F# 

F#m               Bm  F#m 
The lowest trees have tops,  
    Bm   C#  F#   F#m 
the ant her gall, 
    C#m 
the fly her spleen,  
   F#             G#  C# 
the little spark his heat. 

C#m   G#    C#m 
And slender hairs  
F#m          E        A 
cast shadows though but small, 
 G#m             A 
and bees have stings 
      E 
although they be not great. 

A                 E 
Seas have their source,  
 G#m                  C#m 
and so have shallow springs, 
Bm           E           A    C#     F# 
and love, is love, in beggars and in kings.

 G#m                  C#m 
and so have shallow springs, 
Bm           E            A    C#     F# 
and love, is love, in beggars and in kings. 

F#m               Bm  F#m 
Where waters smoothest run  
     Bm    C#   F#   F#m 
deep are the fords; 
    C#m 
the dial stirs,  
   F#             G#  C# 
yet none perceives it move. 

 C#m   G#  C#m 
The firmest faith  
F#m          E        A 
is in the fewest words; 
G#m             A 
the turtles cannot sing  
      E 
and yet they love. 

A                 E 
True hearts have eyes  
G#m                     C#m 
and ears, no tongues to speak; 
      Bm       E       A     C#            F# 
they hear and see and sigh, and then they break.
