Jars of Clay is a popular Christian alternative rock group formed while the band members attended Greenville College in Greenville, Illinois, United States in 1992. The group's sound has varied over the years as the band has experimented with pop, folk, rock, trip-hop, gospel, and hymnsong. Their self-titled album featured layered acoustic guitars over programmed trip-hop beats. The song "Flood" was the band's biggest crossover hit, and it hit #37 on the Billboard Hot 100 as well as #12 on the Modern Rock chart.

Jars of Clay - He (Acoustic) tabbed by Tangalicious [email protected]
Sounds great with two acoustics, or one that alternates between both lead and rhythm. The strumming may be hard to follow, I recommend playing with the song to get the right beat. There are quite a bit of slight fills by the lead, but they're all variations of the chords played by the rhythm.

G A teardrop falls from up in the heavens Cadd9 Drowning the sorrow of angels on high G For the least of the helpless, the hopeless, the loveless Cadd9 My Jesus, His children, He holds in His eyes

G He loves you, He sees you Cadd9 He knows you, protects you.. (repeated)
