 G                                             D                    G    
Where were you when the world stopped turnin', on That September day
 G                                                D                             G
Were you in the yard with your wife and children, or workin' on some stage in L.A.
              C                                                G
Did you stand there in shock....at the sight of that black smoke
 C                        G            C                    G
Rising against that blue sky. Did you shout out in anger in fear for your neighbor
     Em                          C      D
Or did you just sit down and cry
             G
Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones
       D                                           G
and pray for the ones who don't know
 G 
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
        D                                 G 
And sob for the ones left below
             C                                          G 
Did you burst out with pride... for the red white and blue
             C                                 G 
and the heros who died just doing what they do
               C                                   G 
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
        Em                         C 
And look at yourself and what really matters

CHORUS
 C                             G          C                    G
I'm just a singer of simple songs...I'm not a real political man
               C                     G          Em                        C
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could tell you; the difference in Iraq and Iran
         C                       G          C                          G
But I know Jesus and I talk to God, and I remember this from when I was young
 C                                               G   D                    D
Faith hope and love are some good things he gave us, and the greatest is love

 G                                                D               G
Where were you when the world stopped turning. On that September day
 G                                           D                   G
Teachin' a class full of innocent children, or driving down some cold interstate
 C          G                                 C                             G
Did you feel guilty cause you're a survivor, in a crowded room did you feel alone
  C                   G
Did you call up your mother...and tell her you love her
   Em         C ----- D 
Did you dust off that bible at home

 G 
Did you open your eyes..hope it never happened
 D          G 
Close your eyes and not go to sleep...

Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages
     D          G 
Or speak with some stranger on the street
   C          G 
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
 C      G 
Go out and buy you a gun
    C             G 
Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watching
        Em              C 
And turn on "I Love Lucy" re-runs
   C                        G 
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some stranger
 C             G 
Stand in line and give your own blood
    C              G 
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
 Em               C 
Thank God you had somebody to love

CHORUS 2x

Repeat Last Line Of 2nd Chorus 3x

Where were you when the world stop turnin'
On that September day
