Chords for Alan Jackson - Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning) (Official Audio)

_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] Where were you when the world stopped turning?
On that [G] September day?
[C] Were you in the yard with your wife and children?
Or working on some stage 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?
Did [F] you shout out in anger and fear for [Am] your neighbor?
Or did you just [C] sit down [F] and cry?
_ [C] Did you weep for the children who lost their dear [G] loved ones
And pray for the ones who don't know?
Did you [C] rejoice for the people who walked from the [G] rubble
And sobbed for the [C] ones left below?
[F] Did you burst out with [C] pride with the red, white, and [F] blue
And the heroes who [C] died just doing what they [F] do?
Did you look up to [C] heaven for some kind of [Am] answer
And look at yourself [F] and what really matters? _
I'm just a [C] singer of simple songs
[F] I'm not a real [C] political man
[F] I watch CNN [C] but I'm not sure I can [Am] tell you
The difference in [F] Iraq and Iran
But I know [C] Jesus and I talk to God
[F] And I remember this from [C] when I was young
[F] Faith, hope, and [C] love are some good things he gave [G] us
And the [F] 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 ages
[G] Did you go to a church and hold hands
Speak to some stranger [C] on the street?
[F] Did you lay down at night, [C] think of tomorrow
[F] Go out and buy you [C] a gun?
[F] Did you turn off that violent [C] old movie you're watching
[Am] And turn on all the blue [F] Siri runs?
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers
Stand in line and give your [C] own blood?
Did [F] you just stay home and [C] cling tight to your family
[Am] Thank God you had somebody to [F] love?
_ _ I'm just a singer [C] of simple songs
I'm not [F] a real political [C] man
I watch [F] CNN but I'm [C] not sure I can tell you
[Am] The difference in Iraq and [F] Iran
