Intro 1
(C major) (C major)
Verse 1
(C major) Where were you
when the world stopped turnin'
(G major) That September (C major) day?
Were you in the yard
with your wife and children
Or (G major) workin' on some stage in L. (C major) A.?
Did you (F major) stand there in shock
at the (C major) sight of that black smoke
(F major) Risin' against that blue (C major) sky?
Did you (F major) shout out in anger,
in (C major) fear for your neighbor
Or (A minor) did you just sit down and (F major) cry? (G major)

Verse 2
Did you (C major) weep for the children,
they lost their dear loved ones
(G major) Pray for the ones who don't know? (C major)
Did you rejoice for the people
who walked from the rubble
And (G major) sob for the ones left be (C major) low?
Did you (F major) burst out with pride
for the (C major) red, white, and blue
And the (F major) heroes who died
just (C major) doin' what they do?
Did you (F major) look up to heaven
for (C major) some kind of answer
And (A minor) look at yourself and (F major) what really matters?
Chorus 1
(F major) I'm just a singer of (C major) simple songs
I'm not a (F major) real political (C major) man
I watch (F major) CNN, but I'm not (C major) sure I can tell you
The (A minor) diff'rence in Iraq and I (F major) ran
But I know Jesus and I (C major) talk to God
And I re (F major) member this from when I was (C major) young
(F major) Faith, hope, and love
are some (C major) good things He gave us
(G major) And the greatest is (F major) love (G major)
Verse 3
(C major) Where were you
when the world stopped turnin'
(G major) That September (C major) day?
Teachin' a class full of innocent children
Or (G major) drivin' down some cold inter (C major) state
Did (F major) you feel guilty 'cause (C major) you're a survivor?
In a (F major) crowded room did you feel a (C major) lone?
Did you (F major) call up your mother
and (C major) tell her you love her?
Did you (A minor) dust off that Bible at home? (F major) (G major)
Verse 4
Did you (C major) open your eyes
and hope it never happened
(G major) Close your eyes and not go to (C major) sleep?
Did you notice the sunset
for the first time in ages
And (G major) speak to some stranger on the (C major) street?
Did you (F major) lay down at night
and (C major) think of tomorrow
(F major) Go out and buy you a (C major) gun?
Did you (F major) turn off that violent
old (C major) movie you're watchin'
And (A minor) turn on I Love Lucy re (F major) runs?
Did you (F major) go to a church
and hold (C major) hands with some strangers
(F major) Stand in line to give your own (C major) blood?
Did you (F major) just stay home
and cling (C major) tight to your family
Thank (A minor) God you had somebody to love? (F major)
Chorus 2
(F major) I'm just a singer of (C major) simple songs
I'm not a (F major) real political (C major) man
I watch (F major) CNN, but I'm not (C major) sure I can tell you
The (A minor) diff'rence in Iraq and I (F major) ran
But I know Jesus and I (C major) talk to God
And I re (F major) member this from when I was (C major) young
(F major) Faith, hope, and love
are some (C major) good things He gave us
(G major) And the greatest is (F major) love
Chorus 3
(F major) I'm just a singer of (C major) simple songs

But I know Jesus and I (C major) talk to God
And I re (F major) member this from when I was (C major) young
(F major) Faith, hope, and love
are some (C major) good things He gave us
(G major) And the greatest is (F major) love
And the (G major) greatest is (F major) love
And the (G major) greatest is (F major) love
