G                     
Where were you when the world stopped turnin'

D              G
That september day

G
Out in the yard with your wife and children

   D                          G
Or workin' on some stage in L.A.

        C                          G
Did you stand there and sob at the sight of that black smoke

C                        G
Rising against that blue sky

        C                     G
Did you shout out in anger in fear for your neighbor

D                            C
Or did you just sit down and cry

G                     
Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones

    D                           G
and pray for the ones who don't know

          G                            
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble

    D                     G
And sob for the ones left below

        C                          G
Did you burst out in pride for the red white and blue

        C                   G
and the heros who died just doing what they do

        C                     G
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer

    D                    C     
And look at yourself and what really matters



Chorus


C                    G
I'm just a singer of simple songs 

         C               G
I'm not a real political man
 
        C             G   
I watch CNN but i'm not sure I could tell you

    D                       C
the difference in Iraq and Iran

    C                 G                    
But I know Jesus and I talk to God

      C                             G                                       
And I remember this from when I was young

C                            G                                               
Faith hope and love are some good things he gave us

D                     C        
  And the greatest is love
