Where Were You 9

C                                 
Where were you when the world stop
         G                C
 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                          
Did you stand there in shock at the
 C
 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                          
Did you burst out in pride for the 
C
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                    
Tell you the difference in Iraq and
 F
 Iran
F                   C
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
      F                            
And I remember this from when I was
 C
 young
F                             C
Faith, hope and love are some good 
things He gave us
Am                  F
And the greatest is love

[Verse]
C                                 
Where were you when the world stop
        G                 C
 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                                 
And you close your eyes and not go
      C
 to sleep
C
Did you notice the sunset the first 
time in ages
G                              
Or speak to some stranger on the 
   C
street
        F                       C
Did you lay down at night and think 
of tomorrow
F                    C
Go out and buy you a gun
        F                         
Did you turn off that violent old 
C
movie you're watchin'
Am                        F
And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns

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

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