Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)
by Alan Jackson
Verse 1

A
Where were you when the world stopped turning
E               A
That September day
A
Out in the yard with your wife and children
E		          A
Working on some stage in L.A.
             D
Did you stand there in shock
            A
At the sight of that black smoke
D                        A
Rising against that blue sky
               D               A
Did you shout out in anger in fear for your neighbor
    F#m                       D        E
Or did you just sit down and cry

         A
Did you weep for the children that lost their dear loved ones
E				A
Pray for the ones who don't know
A
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
     E                    A
And sob for the ones left below
        D                          A
Did you burst out in pride for the red, white & blue
    D		      	                 A
The heroes who died just doing what they do
        D                      A
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
        F#m               D
And look at yourself for what really matters

Chorus
D                   A
I'm just a singer of simple songs,
          D              A
I'm not a real political man

         D             A
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you
    F#m                    D
The difference in Iraq and Iran
    D               A
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
           D                        A
And I remember this from when I was young
D                            A        			E
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
                     D
And the greatest is love.

Verse 2
A
Where were you when the world stopped turning
   E           A
That September day
A
Teaching a class full of innocent children
   E                       A
Driving down some cold interstate
    D                 A
Did you feel guilty because you're a survivor
      D                         A
In a crowded room did you feel alone
        D                        A
Did you call up your mother and tell her you love her
              F#m              D         E
Did you dust off that Bible at home

        A
Did you open your eyes and hope it never happened
E                             A
Close your eyes and not go to sleep
         A
Did you notice the sunset for the first time in ages
   E                           A
Speak to some stranger on the street
	  D                     A
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
   D                 A
Go out and buy you a gun
         D                         A
Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watching

         F#m               D
And turn on I Love Lucy reruns

    D                           A
Did you go to a Church and hold hands with some stranger
D                               A
Stand in line and give your own blood
     D                             A
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
      F#m                      D
Thank God you had somebody to love

(Repeat Chorus twice)
    D                 A
I'm just a singer of simple songs,
          D              A
I'm not a real political man
        D           A
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you
      F#m                   D
The difference in Iraq and Iran
    D                A
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
          D                           A
And I remember this from when I was young

D                            A                          E
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
                     D
And the greatest is love.

D      E              A      E
The greatest is love
D       E              A     E
The greatest is love
      A
Where were you when the world stopped turning
   E                     A
That September           day
