(When The World Stopped Turning)
Tabbed By JerseyRock
ENJOY !!!
C
Where were you when the world stop turning
G C
on that September day
C
Out in the yard with your wife and children
G C
Or working on some stage in L.A.
F C
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke
F C
Rising against that blue sky
F C
Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor
Am F G
Or did you just sit down and cry
C
Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones
G C
And pray for the ones who don't know
C
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
G C
And sob for the ones left below
F C
Did you burst out in pride for the red, white and blue
F C
And the heroes who died just doin what they do
F C
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
Am F
And look at yourself and what really matters
Chorus:
F C
I'm just a singer of simple songs
F C
I'm not a real political man
F C
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could
Am F
Tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran
F C
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
F C
And I remember this from when I was young
F C
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
G F
And the greatest is love
C
Where were you when the world stop turning
G C
on that September day
C
Teaching a class full of innocent children
G C
Or driving down some cold interstate
F C
Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a survivor
F C
In a crowded room did you feel alone
F C
Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her
Am F G
Did you dust off that Bible at home
C
Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened
G C
And you close your eyes and not go to sleep
C
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages
G C
Or speak to some stranger on the street
F C
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
F C
Go out and buy you a gun
F C
Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watchin'
Am F
And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns
F C
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers
F C
Stand in line and give your own blood
F C
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
Am F
Thank God you had somebody to love
Chorus:
F C
I'm just a singer of simple songs
F C
I'm not a real political man
F C
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could
Am F
Tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran
F C
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
F C
And I remember this from when I was young
F C
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
G F
And the greatest is love
Chorus:
F C
I'm just a singer of simple songs
F C
I'm not a real political man
F C
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could
Am F
Tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran
F C
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
F C
And I remember this from when I was young
F C
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
G F
And the greatest is love
And the greatest is love
And the greatest is love
C
Where were you when the world stop turning
G C
on that September day..
