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.

[----B] [G#/C] [C#m] [Bsus] [F#m] [A] [Asus] [A]
Verse 1:
[Dadd9]Sometimes his eyes were [Dmaj7]gentle and [Dsus]filled with laughter[Dadd9]
[G]And so[D/F#]metim[Em7]es they cried
[Dadd9]Sometimes there was a [Dmaj7]fire of [Dsus]holy ange[Dadd9]r
[G]In [D/F#]Jesus'[Em7] eyes
[Asus]But the eyes that saw hope in the [D]hopeless
[Bm]That saw through the [Asus]fault to the [Gmaj7]need
[A]Are the same eyes that [F#/A#]look down from [Bm]heaven[Asus]
[Em7]Into the deepest [G]part of you and [Asus]me[A]
Chorus:
[Gmaj7]And his eyes are always u[D]pon us
[Gmaj7]His eyes never close in s[D]leep
[G]And [F#]no [Em7]matter where you go you will [A]always be [F#/A#]in his [Bm]eyes[Asus] [Gmaj7]
Verse 2:
[Dadd9]Sometimes his voice comes [Dmaj7]calling like [Dsus]rolling thunder[Dadd9]
[G]Or l[D/F#]ike dr[Em7]iving rain
[Dadd9]And sometimes his voice is [Dmaj7]quiet and we [Dsus]start to wonder[Dadd9]
[G]If he [D/F#]knows [Em7]our pain
[Asus]But he who spoke peace to the [D]water
[Bm]Cares more for our [Asus]heart than the [Gmaj7]waves
[A]And the voice that once [F#/A#]said you're [Bm]forgiven[Asus]
[Em7]Still says you're for[G]given to[Asus]day, [A] to[Bsus]day[B]
KEY CHANGE EVERYBODY
Eno3 Emaj7 Esus E
Sometimes I look above me when the stars are shining
[A]And I[E/G#] feel [F#m]so small
Eno3 Emaj7 Esus E
How could the God of heaven and all creation
[A]Know [E/G#]I'm he[F#m]re at all
[Bsus]But then in the [B]silence he [Esus]whispers[E]
[C#m]My child I crea[Bsus]ted you t[A]oo
[B]And you're my most [G#/C]precious cre[C#m]ation[Bsus]
[F#m]I even gave [A]my Son for [Asus]you[A]
