Chords for Alan Jackson - Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning? - Lyrics on screen

_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] Where were you when the world stopped turning?
On [G] that September day?
[C] Were you in the yard with your wife and children?
[G] Or working on some stage [C] in L.A.?
Did [F] you stand there in shock [C] at the sight of that black smoke
[F] Rising against that [C] blue sky?
[F] Did you shout out in anger [C] 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 who [C] 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 with pride [C] with the red, white, and blue
[F] And the heroes who died [C] just doing what they knew?
[F] Did you look up to heaven [C] for some kind of answer
[Am] And look at yourself [F] and what really matters? _
I'm just a singer [C] of simple songs
I'm [F] 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] 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 is love
_ _ [C] Where were you when the world stopped turning
[G] On that [C] September day?
Teaching a class full of innocent children
[G] Or driving down some [C] cold interstate?
[F] Did you feel guilty [C] cause 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 for the first time in [G] ages
Did you close your eyes and 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 [C] violent old movie you're [Am] watching
And turn on all of [F] Lucille Reron's?
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers
Stand in line and give [C] your own blood?
[F] Did you just stay home [C] and 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 [C] political man
[F] I watch 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 talk to God
[F] And I remember this from when [C] I was young
[F] Faith, hope and [C] love 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
[F] I watch CNN [C] but I'm not sure I can tell [Am] you
The difference in [F] Iraq and Iran
But I know [C] Jesus and I talk to God
[F] And I remember this from when [C] I was young
[F] Faith, hope and [C] love are some good things He [G] gave us
And the [F] greatest is love
And the greatest is love
And the greatest is love _ _
[C] Where were you when the world stopped turning
[G] On that September [C] day _ _ _ _ _ _ _
