His Eye Is On The Sparrow-Chords

[Blackwiz87]

Can somebody help me out with this song? At my church, they usually call my sister up to sing sumthing. She usually sings His Eye Is On the Sparrow and Alabasters Box.

I try to follow the song, His Eye is on the Sparrow.....and I can....but its so plain and simple. Can somebody give me some chords for the song....chords that dont just get me through the song, but spice it up.

I play it in Db.

Also, she sings Alabasters Box. I would really appreciate chords for both songs. Both in Db.

Thanks

T-Block, that's tight...Imma play that at church on Sunday

You did a good job to Val.  In my post, I tried to keep the melody at the top.  I never really played this song for a soloist before, but I heard people sing it, so i was just thinking about how they sung it and how I would play it.  I like using 7-3-6-2-5-1 or any combo of them whenever I can.
