C Where were you when the world stopped turning that September Day
C Out in the yard with your wife and children, working on some stage in LA
F Did you stand there in shock at t C he site of that black smoke Rising against
that blue sky
Am Did you shout out in anger in fear F for your neighbor, or did you just sit
down and cry
G Did you weep for the children who lost th C eir dear love ones or pray for the
ones who don't know
G Did you rejoice for the people w C ho walked from the rubble and sob for the
ones left below
Did you burst F out in pride for the Red White and C Blue
And the heroe F s who died just doing what they C do
Am Did you look up to Heaven f F or some kind of answer and look at yourself and
what really matters
C I'm just a singer of simple songs; I'm not a real political man
F I watch CNN, but I'm not sure I can tell you, the difference in Iraq and
Iran
C But I know Jesus, and I talk to God And I remember this from when I was
young
G Faith, hope and Love are s C ome good things he gave us, and the greatest is
Love
C Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day
C Teaching a class full of innocent children, Or driving down some cold
interstate
C Did you feel guilty cuz you're a survivor, in a crowded room did you feel
alone
Am Did you call up your mother F and tell her you love her Did you dust off that
bible at home
G Did you open your eyes and hope it never ha C ppened, close your eyes and not
go to sleep
C Did you notice the sunset, first time in ages and speak to some strangers on
the street
F Did you lay down at night C and think of tomorrow, go out and buy you a gun
Am Did you turn off that violent F old movie your watching and turn on I Love
Lucy reruns
Did you F go to a church and hold hands with some C strangers,
F Stand in line and give your own blood C
Am Did you just stay home and cling tigh F t to your family thank god you had
somebody to love
C I'm just a singer of simple songs; I'm not a real political man
F I watch CNN, but I'm not sure I can tell you, the difference in Iraq and
Iran
C But I know Jesus, and I talk to God And I remember this from when I was
young
G Faith, hope and Love are s C ome good things he gave us, and the greatest is
Love
C I'm just a singer of simple songs; I'm not a real political man
F I watch CNN, but I'm not sure I can tell you, the difference in Iraq and
Iran
C But I know Jesus, and I talk to God And I remember this from when I was
young
G Faith, hope and Love are s C ome good things he gave us, and the greatest is
Love
G and the greatest is Love, C and th G e greatest is Love C
C Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day
