Where were you september 11th

[Intro]C Verse]

C Csus4

Where were you when the world stopped turning,

G C

On that September day?

C Csus4

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

C

At the sight of that black smoke

F C

Rising against that blue sky?

F

Did you shout out in anger

C

In fear for your neighbor,

Am F G

Or did you just sit down and cry?

C

Did you weep for the children, they 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 with pride

C

For the Red, White, and Blue

F

And the heroes who died

C

just doing what they do?

F C

Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer,

Am F G

And look at your self and what really matters?

[Chorus]

F C

I'm just a singer of simple songs I'm not a

F C

Real political man

F C

I watch CNN, But I'm not sure I can tell you

Am F

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

G F G

And the greatest is love.

[Verse 2]

C Csus4

Where were you when the world stopped turning

G C

On that September day?

C Csus4

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

Did you call up your mother

C

And tell you loved her?

Am F G

Did you dust off that Bible at home?

C

Did you open you eyes and hope it never happened

G C

Close your eyes and not go to sleep?

C

Did you notice the sunset for the first time in ages

G C

And 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 watching

Am F

And turn on I Love Lucy reruns?

[Bridge]

F C

Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers

F C

Stand inline and give your own blood?

F

Did you just stay home

C

And cling tight to your family,

Am F

Thank God you had somebody to love?

[Chorus] (x2)

I'm just a singer of simple songs I'm not a
