C D Who's traveled far and cries for rest? Em A "Not I," said the Oak Tree, D Bm A "I won't share my branches with no sparrow's nest D Bm A Em And my blanket of leaves won't warm her cold breast." [Verse 2] Em D Who will love a little sparrow? C D And who will speak a kindly word? Em A "Not I," said the Swan, D Bm A "The entire idea is utterly absurd, D Bm A Em I'd be laughed at and scorned if the other Swans heard." [Interlude] [3/4] [4/4] | Em/C# Em/D E/D | % | % | % | Em | Em | [Verse 3] Em D Who will take pity in his heart C D And who will feed a starving sparrow? Em A "Not I," said the Golden Wheat, D Bm A "I would if I could but I cannot I know, D Bm A Em I need all my grain to prosper and grow." [Verse 4] Em D Who will love a little sparrow? C D Will no one write her eulogy? Em A "I will," said the Earth, D Bm A "For all I've created returns unto me, D Bm A Em From dust were ye made and dust ye shall be."
