Intro: B C#m7 B C#m7 B Amaj7 B Amaj7 B C#m7 B C#m7 B Amaj7 B Amaj7 Another day in Nigeria the children beg for bread, B C#m7 B C#m7 B Amaj7 B Amaj7 the crops have failed, the well ran dry when they lost the watershed. B C#m7 B C#m7 B Amaj7 B Amaj7 A baby dies, its mother cries, the children gather 'round B C#m7 B C#m7 B Amaj7 They're wondering what the day will bring, will they be the next one found? B Amaj7 A B A B G#m7 C#m7 G#m7 C#m7 Do you dare to gaze into their hollow eyes, hollow eyes? A B A B G#m7 C#m7 G#m7 C#m7 Are they staring holes in you with their hollow eyes, hollow eyes, B C#m7 B C#m7 B Amaj7 B Amaj7 hollow eyes? B C#m7 B C#m7 B Amaj7 In the crowded sheds the children lay their heads to escape the Hatian heat. B Amaj7 B C#m7 B C#m7 B Amaj7 The hunger pains drive them to the street wond'ring if today they'll eat. B Amaj7 B C#m7 B C#m7 B Amaj7 B Amaj7 Some find food in the refuse heap, others find disease, B C#m7 B C#m7 B Amaj7 B Amaj7 some find it harder just to live when they can die with ease. A B A B G#m7 C#m7 G#m7 C#m7 Do you dare to gaze into their hollow eyes, hollow eyes? A B A B G#m7 C#m7 G#m7 C#m7 Are they staring holes in you with their hollow eyes, hollow eyes, B C#m7 B C#m7 hollow eyes? F#m Dmaj7 A The least of these is hungry. The least of these is sick. F#m Dmaj7 A The least of these needs clothing. The least of these needs drink. Dmaj7 A D E F#m E D E F#m The least of these knows sorrow. The least of these knows grief. D E F#m E D E F#m The least of these has suffered pain, and Jesus is His name. A B A B G#m7 C#m7 G#m7 C#m7 Do you dare to gaze into their hollow eyes, hollow eyes? A B A B G#m7 C#m7 B C#m7 Is He staring back at you with His hollow eyes, hollow eyes, (This last one is very soft) B C#m hollow eyes? These are the chord forms I use for this song. Just so you know, each vertical line is a string, the number to the left is top fret of the chart, the o's are where your fingers are, the ---'s represent barres, the x's at the top mean don't play this string, and finally, each horizontal line is a fret. i.e. For a B, you have a one finger barre at the second fret, and the D, G & B strings depressed at the fourth fret.
