Hollow Eyes
by
Petra

words and music by Bob Hartman

from the album, Beat the System

Note: I learned this from a Petra book I had years ago. I think it's still
correct.



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.
