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.
