Chords for Alan Jackson - Where Were You (Live Video)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
Where were you when the world stopped turning?
That [D] September day?
[C]
Out in the yard, your wife and [G] children
Were working on some [C] stage in L.A.
[F] Did you stand there in [C] shock
At the sight of that black [F] smoke
Rising against [C] that blue sky?
[F] Did you shout out in [C] anger and fear for your neighbor?
[Am] Or did you just sit [F] down and cry?
_ [G] _
[C] Did you weep for the children
Who lost their dear loved [G] ones
And pray for the ones [C] who don't know?
Did you rejoice for the people
Who walked from the rubble
[G] And sobbed for the ones [C] left below?
[F] Did you burst out in [C] pride
For the red, white, and blue
[F] The heroes who [C] died just doing what they do?
[F] Did you look up to [C] heaven
For some kind of answer?
[Am] And look at yourself
[F] And what really matters?
_ _ I'm just a singer [C] of simple songs
[F] I'm not a real [C] political man
[F] I've watched CNN
[C] But I'm not sure I can tell [Am] you
The difference in Iraq [F] and Iran
But I know Jesus [C] and I've talked to God
[F] And I remember this from when [C] I was young
[F] Faith, hope, and love [C] are some good things He gave [G] us
And the greatest [F] is love
_ _ [C] Where were you when the world stopped turning?
[G] That September [C] day
Teaching a class full of innocent children
[G] Driving down some [C] cold interstate
[F] Did you feel guilty
[C] Because you're a survivor?
[F] In a crowded room did you [C] feel alone?
[F] Did you call up your mother
[C] And tell her you loved her?
[Am] Did you dust off that [F] Bible at home?
_ [G] _ [C] Did you open your eyes
And hope it never happened?
[G] Close your eyes and not [C] go to sleep?
Did you notice the sunset
The first time in ages
[G] To speak to some stranger [C] on the street?
[F] Did you lay down at [C] night
And think of tomorrow?
[F] Go out and buy [C] you a gun?
[F] Did you turn off that violent [C] whole movie you're watching
[Am] And turn on I Love Lucy [F] reruns?
Did you go to a church
[C] And hold hands with some [F] stranger
Stand in line and give [C] your own blood?
[F] Did you just stay home
And [C] cling tight to your family?
[Am] Thank God you had somebody [F] to love _ _
I'm just a singer [C] of simple songs
[F] I'm not a real political [C] man
I [F] watch CNN
But [C] I'm not sure I can tell you
[Am] The difference in Iraq [F] and Iran
But I know Jesus [C] and I talk to God
[F] And I remember this from when [C] I was young
[F] Faith, hope, and love [C] are some good things He gave [G] us
And the [F] greatest is love
I'm just a singer [C] of simple songs
[F] I'm not a real [C] political man
I [F] watch CNN
But [C] I'm not sure I can tell [Am] you
The difference in Iraq [F] and Iran
But I know Jesus [C] and I talk to God
[F] And I remember this from when I [C] was young
[F] Faith, hope, and love [C] are some good things He gave [G] us
And the greatest [F] is love
And the greatest is love
_ And the greatest is love
_ _ [C] Where were you [G] when the world stopped turning?
That September day
