day?[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]\r\nOut in the Yard with your wife and children,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]                           [ch]C[/ch]\r\nOr working on some stage in L.A.[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]F[/ch]\r\nDid you stand there in shock[/tab]\r\n[tab]       [ch]C[/ch]\r\nAt the site of that black smoke[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]                            [ch]C[/ch]\r\nRising up against that blue sky[/tab]\r\n[tab]         [ch]F[/ch]\r\nDid you shout out in anger[/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]C[/ch]\r\nIn fear for your neighbor,[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]Am[/ch]                        [ch]F[/ch]                         [ch]G[/ch]\r\nOr did you just sit down and cry?[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab]              [ch]C[/ch]\r\nDid you weep for the children, they lost their dear loved ones,[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]G[/ch]                              [ch]C[/ch]\r\nAnd pray for the ones who don?t know?[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nDid you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]G[/ch]                       [ch]C[/ch]\r\nAnd sob for the ones left below?[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]F[/ch]\r\nDid you burst out in pride[/tab]\r\n[tab]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\nFor the Red, White, and Blue[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]F[/ch]\r\nAnd the hero?s who died[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]C[/ch]\r\njust doing what they do,[/tab]\r\n[tab]         [ch]F[/ch]

that September day?\r\nTeaching a class full of innocent children\r\nOr driving down some cold interstate?\r\nDid you feel guilty cause you?re a survivor\r\nIn a crowded room do you feel alone?\r\nDid you call up your mother\r\nAnd tell you love her,\r\nOr did you dust off that Bible at home?\r\n\r\nDid you open you eyes and hope it never happened\r\nClose your eyes and not go to sleep?\r\nDid you notice the sunset for the first time in ages\r\nAnd speak to some stranger on the street?\r\nDid you lay down at night and think of tomorrow\r\nGo out and buy you a gun\r\nDid you turn off that violent old movie you?re watching\r\nAnd turn on I Love Lucy reruns?\r\n\r\n[Bridge] (sorta)\r\n[tab]         [ch]F[/ch]                      [ch]C[/ch]\r\nDid you go to a church and hold hands with
