G Where were you when the world stopped turnin'
D That september G day
G Out in the yard with your wife and children
Or D workin' on some stage in L. G A.
Did you C stand there and sob at the G sight of that black smoke
C Rising against that blue G sky
Did you C shout out in anger in G fear for your neighbor
D Or did you just sit down and C cry
G Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones
and D pray for the ones who don't G know
Did you re G joice for the people who walked from the rubble
And D sob for the ones left G below
Did you C burst out in pride for the G red white and blue
and the C heros who died just G doing what they do
Did you C look up to heaven for G some kind of answer
And D look at yourself and C what really matters
Chorus
C I'm just a singer of G simple songs
I'm not a C real political G man
I watch C CNN but i'm no G t sure I could tell you
the D difference in Iraq and I C ran
But C I know Jesus and I G talk to God
And I C remember this from when I was G young
C Faith hope and love are some G good things he gave us
D And the greatest is C love
*The rest of the verses follow the same chords as the first.
