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.

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 AsAs 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 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 G Asus A BsuB Still says you're forgiven today, today KEY CHANGE EVERYBODY Eno3 Emaj7 Esus E Sometimes I look above me when the stars are shining A E/G# F#m And I feel so small Eno3 Emaj7 Esus E How could the God of heaven and all creation A E/G# F#m Know I'm here at all Bsus B Esus E But then in the silence he whispers C#m Bsus A My child I created you too B G#/C C#m Bsus And you're my most precious creation F#m A AsuA I even gave my Son for you (out of key change, back into chorus)
