CAPO ON FIFTH (5th) FRET!
When Alan Jackson played the song on the Country Music Awards
he used a capo on the 5th fret and played these chords.
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
*The rest of the verses follow the same chords as the first.
