Where Were You

G                                 
Where were you when the world stop
        D
 turning on that
          G
September Day


Were you out in the yard with your 
wife and children
   D                          G
Or working on some stage in L.A.
        C                          
Did you stand there in shock at the
 G
 sight of that black

smoke
 C                       G
Rising against that blue sky
        C                      G
Did you shout out in anger, in fear 
for your neighbor
   Em                        C    
Or did you just sit down and cry
  D


        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                          
Did you burst out in pride for the 
G
red, white and blue
        C                    G
And the heroes who died just doin' 
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




C                    G
I'm just a singer of simple songs
          C              G
I'm not a real political man
        C           G
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could
             Em                    
Tell you the difference in Iraq and
  C
 Iran
    C                G
But I know Jesus and I talk to God

        C                          
And I remember this from when I was
 G
 young
C                             G  
Faith, hope and love are some 
                   D
good things He gave us
                         C   D  
And the greatest is love

G                                 
Where were you when the world stop 
D
turning on that
          G
September day

Teaching a class full of innocent 
children
   D                           G
Or driving down some cold interstate
    C                      G
Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a 
survivor
     C                          G
In a crowded room did you feel alone
        C                       G
Did you call up your mother and tell
 her you love her
        Em                     C  
Did you dust off that bible at 
    D
home

        G
Did you open your eyes, hope it 
never happened
        D                          
And you close your eyes and not go 
   G
to sleep

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