Chords for Bela Fleck & Abigail Washburn - "His Eye Is On The Sparrow" (eTown webisode #674)

_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] You know, I'm much newer to the scene and E-Town _ [D] _
took [Ab] a chance on me in the very beginning
of my career and gave me a chance to be [Eb] heard by their audience.
And [G] it's just been [C] a huge part of helping me feel like I'm a part of the [G] touring folk
community and that I'm inside something important that's going on musically in the world.
[E] So that's been [D] really beautiful for me.
And [G] the way they support the idea of community [B] in music is just a [D] really inspiring thing.
I [G] have a lot of history with Nick because all through the 80s, the bands that were always
headlining all the Bluegrass festivals were Hot Rise and New Grass Revival.
And it would always be, almost always it was Hot Rise and then we'd follow them and play
the Late Show on Saturday night.
And we'd hang out and [E] we would meet each other every weekend in another place and really
got to know each other.
_ So, you know, when he launched this amazing project, I was like, man, _ go for it, dude.
This is an amazing, _ an ambitious, beautiful thing you're trying to do here.
And I really didn't know if he could pull it off.
And now it's 20-something years later and not only has he pulled it off for all this
long, kept it going, and you know, got even better as an emcee [Dbm] and a connective personality.
But he's gotten this whole thing.
I know it's a lot of people.
He got this to happen, but he, you know, he got this thing to happen and it's a beautiful thing.
