Another day in Nigeria the children beg for bread,
BC#m7BC#m7BAmaj7BAmaj7
the crops have failed, the well ran dry when they lost the watershed.
BC#m7BC#m7BAmaj7BAmaj7
A baby dies, its mother cries, the children gather 'round
BC#m7BC#m7BAmaj7
They're wondering what the day will bring, will they be the next one found?
BAmaj7ABABG#m7C#m7G#m7C#m7
Do you dare to gaze into their hollow eyes, hollow eyes?
ABABG#m7C#m7G#m7C#m7
Are they staring holes in you with their hollow eyes, hollow eyes,
BC#m7BC#m7BAmaj7BAmaj7
hollow eyes?
BC#m7BC#m7BAmaj7
In the crowded sheds the children lay their heads to escape the Hatian heat.
BAmaj7BC#m7BC#m7BAmaj7
The hunger pains drive them to the street wond'ring if today they'll eat.
BAmaj7BC#m7BC#m7BAmaj7BAmaj7
Some find food in the refuse heap, others find disease,
BC#m7BC#m7BAmaj7BAmaj7
some find it harder just to live when they can die with ease.
ABABG#m7C#m7G#m7C#m7
Do you dare to gaze into their hollow eyes, hollow eyes?
ABABG#m7C#m7G#m7C#m7
Are they staring holes in you with their hollow eyes, hollow eyes,

hollow eyes?

The least of these is hungry. The least of these is sick.
F#mDmaj7A
The least of these needs clothing. The least of these needs drink.

The least of these knows sorrow. The least of these knows grief.
DEF#mEDEF#m
The least of these has suffered pain, and Jesus is His name.
ABABG#m7C#m7G#m7C#m7
Do you dare to gaze into their hollow eyes, hollow eyes?
ABABG#m7C#m7BC#m7
Is He staring back at you with His hollow eyes, hollow eyes,

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.
