The Lowest Trees Have Tops chords by Sting

[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.

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.

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.

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...
