His Eyes Steven Curtis Chapman CD: Greatest Hits (originally on Real Life Conversations) c1989 Sparrow Song Tab by Steve Cruickshank postlambjam@hotmail.com There are two guitar parts in the song, one for the left side of the recording and one for the right side. I put down the two separate parts for the intro, which is the main progression of the song, but for the rest of the song Ive left it as just one guitar because they play pretty much the same thing. Hope it makes sense. Oh yeah, tune down half a step and drop low string to Db.

1: Dadd9 Dmaj7 Dsus Dadd9 Sometimes his eyes were gentle and filled with laughter G D/F# Em7 And sometimes they cried Dadd9 Dmaj7 Dsus Dadd9 Sometimes there was a fire of holy anger G D/F# Em7 In Jesus' eyes Asus D But the eyes that saw hope in the hopeless Bm Asus Gmaj7 That saw through the fault to the need A F#/A# Bm Asus Are the same eyes that look down from heaven Em7 G Asus A Into the deepest part of you and me Chorus: Gmaj7 D And his eyes are always upon us Gmaj7 D His eyes never close in sleep G F# Em7 A F#/A# Bm Asus Gmaj7 And no matter where you go you will always be in his eyes Verse 2: Dadd9 Dmaj7 Dsus Dadd9 Sometimes his voice comes calling like rolling thunder G D/F# Em7 Or like driving rain Dadd9 Dmaj7 Dsus Dadd9 And sometimes his voice is quiet and we start to wonder G D/F# Em7 If he knows our pain Asus D But he who spoke peace to the water Bm Asus Gmaj7 Cares more for our heart than the waves A F#/A# Bm Asus And the voice that once said you're forgiven Em7
