still correct.
Intro: B C#m7 B C#m7 B Amaj7 B Amaj 7
Ano[B]ther [C#m7]day in Ni[B]ger[C#m7]ia the c[B]hildren [Amaj7]beg for bread,[B][Amaj7]
[B]the crops h[C#m7]ave failed, [B]the well [C#m7]ran dry when t[B]hey lost [Amaj7]the waters[B]hed[Amaj7].
A [B]baby [C#m7]dies, its [B]mother [C#m7]cries, the [B]children [Amaj7]gather 'round[B][Amaj7]
[B]They'r[C#m7]e wondering w[B]hat the d[C#m7]ay will bring, wi[B]ll they[Amaj7] be the next one found?
[B] [Amaj7]
[A]Do you [B]dare to [A]gaze in[B]to their [G#m7]hollow [C#m7]eyes, [G#m7]hollow [C#m7]eyes?
[A]Are they [B]staring [A]holes in [B]you with their [G#m7]hollow [C#m7]eyes, [G#m7]hollow [C#m7]eyes,
[B]hollow [C#m7]eyes?[B][C#m7][B][Amaj7][B][Amaj7]
In the [B]crowded [C#m7]sheds the children [B]lay their [C#m7]heads to es[B]cape the[Amaj7] Hatian heat.
[B] [Amaj7]
The [B]hunger [C#m7]pains drive them [B]to the [C#m7]street wond'ring [B]if to[Amaj7]day they'll eat.
[B] [Amaj7]
Some [B]find [C#m7]food in the [B]refuse [C#m7]heap, [B]others [Amaj7]find disease,[B][Amaj7]
some [B]find it [C#m7]harder [B]just to [C#m7]live when [B]they can [Amaj7]die with ease.[B][Amaj7]
[A]Do you [B]dare to [A]gaze in[B]to their [G#m7]hollow [C#m7]eyes, [G#m7]hollow [C#m7]eyes?
[A]Are they [B]staring [A]holes in [B]you with their [G#m7]hollow [C#m7]eyes, [G#m7]hollow [C#m7]eyes,
[B]hollow [C#m7]eyes?[B][C#m7]
The [F#m]least of these is hun[Dmaj7]gry. [A] The least of these is sick.
The [F#m]least of these needs clo[Dmaj7]thing. [A] The least of these needs drink.
[Dmaj7] [A]
The [D]least of [E]these knows sor[F#m]row. [E] The [D]least of thes[E]e knows grief[F#m].
The [D]least of thes[E]e has s[F#m]uffer[E]ed [D]pain, and Jesus i[E]s His n[F#m]ame.
[A]Do you [B]dare to [A]gaze in[B]to their [G#m7]hollow [C#m7]eyes, [G#m7]hollow [C#m7]eyes?
[A]Is He [B]staring [A]back at [B]you with His [G#m7]hollow [C#m7]eyes, [B]hollow [C#m7]eyes,
(This last one is very soft)
[B]hollow e[C#m]yes?
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.
