Song: Where Were You 5 Tab
WHERE WERE YOU (When The World Stopped Turning)
Written and recorded by: Alan Jackson
[1] Where were You When the World stopped Turnin'
[5] That September [1] day
Out in the Yard with Your Wife and Children
[5] Working on some Stage in L. [1] A.
Did You [4] Stand there in Shock
At the [1] Sight of that Black Smoke
[4] Risin' against that Blue [1] Sky
Did You [4] Shout out in Anger
In [1] Fear for Your Neighbors
Or [6m] did You just Sit down and [4] Cry? [5]
Did You [1] Weep for the Children
Who lost Their Dear loved Ones
[5] Pray for the Ones who don't [1] Know
Did You Rejoice for the People
Who Walked from the Rubble
Or [5] Sob for the Ones left Be-[1]-low
Did You [4] Burst out in Pride
For the [1] Red, White & Blue
The [4] Heroes who died
Just [1] doin' what they Do
Did You [4] Look up to Heaven
For [1] some kind of Answer
And [6m] look at Yourself
And [4] what really matters
CHORUS
[4] I'm just a Singer of [1] Simple Songs
I'm not a [4] real Political [1] Man
I Watch [4] CNN but I'm [1] not sure I can tell You
The [6m] Difference in IRAQ and I-[4]-RAN
But I know Jesus and [1] I've Talked to God
And I Re-[4]-member this from when I was [1] Young
[4] Faith, Hope and Love
Are some [1] Good things He gave us
[5] And the Greatest is [4] LOVE [5]
[1] Where were You when the world stopped Turnin'
[5] That September [1] Day?
Teachin' a Class full of innocent Children
[5] Drivin' down some Cold Inter-[1]-state
Did [4] You Feel Guilty 'cause [1] You're a Survivor
In a [4] Crowded room, did You feel A-[1]-lone
Did You [4] Call up Your Mother
And [1] tell her You love Her
Did You [6m] Dust off that Bible at [4] Home [5]
Did You [1] open Your Eyes, Hope it never Happened
[5] Close Your Eyes and not go to [1] Sleep
Did You Notice the Sunset, First time in Ages
[5] Speak to some Stranger on the [1] Street
Did You [4] lay down at Night, [1] Think of Tomorrow
[4] Go out and Buy You a [1] Gun
Did You [4] Turn off that Violent
Old [1] Movie You're Watchin'
And [6m] Turn on 'I Love Lucy' re-[4]-runs
Did You [4] go to a Church
And hold [1] Hands with some Stranger
[4] Stand in Line and give Your own [1] Blood
Did You [4] Just stay Home
And Cling [1] tight to Your Family
Thank [6m] God You had Somebody to [4] Love
CHORUS
[4] I'm just a Singer of [1] Simple Songs
I'm not a [4] real Political [1] Man
I Watch [4] CNN but I'm [1] not sure I can tell You
The [6m] Difference in IRAQ and I-[4]-RAN
But I know Jesus and [1] I've Talked to God
And I Re-[4]-member this from when I was [1] Young
[4] Faith, Hope and Love
Are some [1] Good things He gave us
[5] And the Greatest is [4] LOVE [5]
REPEAT CHORUS
TAG:
The [5] Greatest is [4] LOVE
The [5] Greatest is [4] LOVE
[1] Where were You when the World stopped Turning
[5] That September [1] Day
