G                      C                D 
There hadn't been much happenin' in the news that day 
G           C          D 
Not much of nothin' on TV 
G          C                 D 
Not big on Yankee baseball, I'm afraid to say 
G            C               D 
Enron didn't hardly interest me 

G              C               D 
I changed the channel, went on up to bed 
G         C                D 
Left the phone in silent mode 
G            C              D 
Woke up next afternoon, the voicemail says 
 G                  C              D 
Where the goddamn hell you been? There's three thousand dead" 
 

 
Em            C                D 
And, Annie, what you doin' in Nebraska? 
Em            C                 D 
Does anybody know what's goin' on? 
Em               C               D 
Annie, what you doin' in Nebraska? 
G     Em       C     C      Em      D 
Trade Center's gone, Trade Center's gone 
 

 
G               C             D 
I never thought much of the younger Bush 
G           C                D 
He never seemed to have a clue 
G               C                D 
He sat there smilin' with that children's book 
G             C             D 
While they decided what to do 

G                   C                D 
No one could find him 'til that big blue plane 
G                C   D 
Set down at Offutt AFB 
G                      C            D 
We've all seen worse now, but his name's still mud 
G                      C                D 
For goin' down that rabbit hole while Arafat gave blood 
 

 
Em            C                D 
And, Annie, what you doin' in Nebraska? 
Em            C                 D 
Does anybody know what's goin' on? 
Em               C               D 
Annie, what you doin' in Nebraska? 
G     Em       C     C      Em      D 
Trade Center's gone, Trade Center's gone 
 

 
G              C          D         C 
Now they tell us how he found his feet 
G                  C             D 
Standin' in the rubble of the towers 
G               C                D 
Who of us can name the one who wrote that speech? 
G                  C                D 
Loaned him the words to seize the hour 

G              C        D 
He laid the blame on Saddam Hussein 
G               C            D 
You'da thought we mighta learned 
G                    C              D 
He sat with Prince Bandar, both enjoyed a fine cigar 
G                          C                     D 
On the White House Truman Balcony while the Pentagon still burned 
 

 
Em            C                D 
And, Annie, what you doin' in Nebraska? 
Em            C                 D 
Does anybody know what's goin' on? 
Em               C               D 
Annie, what you doin' in Nebraska? 
G     Em       C     C      Em      D 
Trade Center's gone, Trade Center's gone 

Em            C                D 
And, Annie, what you doin' in Nebraska? 
Em            C                 D 
Does anybody know what's goin' on? 
E               C               D 
Annie, what you doin' in Nebraska? 
G     Em       C     C      Em      D 
Trade Center's gone, Trade Center's gone
