	        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-----
