Where Were You 9

	  		Verse 
C                                          G                C 
Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day 
C 
Were you in the yard with your wife and children 
G                            C 
Or working on some stage in L.A. 
        F                           C 
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke 
F                        C 
Rising against that blue sky 
        F                       C 
Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor 
Am                            F 
Or did you just sit down and cry 

C 
Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones 
G                               C 
And pray for the ones who don't know 
C 
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble 
G                         C 
And sob for the ones left below 
        F                          C 
Did you burst out in pride for the red, white and blue 
        F                     C 
And the heroes who died just doin' what they do 
        F                       C 
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer 
Am                       F 
And look at yourself and what really matters 

Chorus 
F                    C 
I'm just a singer of simple songs 
          F              C 
I'm not a real political man 
        F               C 
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could 
             Am                     F 
Tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran 
F                   C 
But I know Jesus and I talk to God 
      F                             C 
And I remember this from when I was young 
F                             C 
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us 
Am                  F 
And the greatest is love 


Verse 
C                                         G                 C 
Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day 
C 
Teaching a class full of innocent children 
   G                            C 
Or driving down some cold interstate 
    F                       C 
Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a survivor 
     F                          C 
In a crowded room did you feel alone 
        F                       C 
Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her 
        Am                      F 
Did you dust off that bible at home 

C 
Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened 
G                                       C 
And you close your eyes and not go to sleep 
C 
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages 
G                                 C 
Or speak to some stranger on the street 
        F                       C 
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow 
F                    C 
Go out and buy you a gun 
        F                         C 
Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watchin' 
Am                        F 
And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns 

F                               C 
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers 
F                               C 
Stand in line and give your own blood 
        F                        C 
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family 
Am                              F 
Thank God you had somebody to love 

Chorus 
Am                  F 
And the greatest is love  3X 
C                                          G                C 
Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day-----
