verse 1: 

     G    G/F#   Bm         G    G/F#       Bm 
Am I foolish to ask, laying motionless and black, 
        G    G/F#      Bm         A        A/F#   G 
Father, if you have a reason for lack of better words 
        G    G/F# G  G/F#  A 
For the pain and  suf-fer-ing 
  G    G/F#  G  G/F#   A 
I shake my fist and scream 


           Bm                           G         D    Dsus D   Dsus 
Where were you, in the night, when the roof came down? 
           Bm                           G         D    Dsus D   Dsus 
Where were you, holding light, when the fire went out? 
           Bm                      G            D      Dsus D   Dsus 
Where were you, El Shaddai, El Shaddai, El Shaddai? 
           Bm                               G       D  Dsus D   Dsus 
Where were you, where were you, where were you, we cry 

verse 2:
 
         G    G/F#      Bm           G   G/F#      Bm 
When the gunman in the town, twenty babies in the ground 
         G      G/F#         Bm           A 
Were you listening, did you hear the same sounds? 
       A/F#  G 
Were you around? 
         G   G/F# G  G/F#  A 
For the pain and suf-fer-ing 
   G    G/F#  G  G/F#  A 
I gnash my teeth and scream

Bridge: 

     A           Bm              G        D 
I've served you whole, and I've loved you so 
     A          Bm            G           D 
I've placed my hope, in your streets of gold 
     A        Bm           G        D 
My anguish holds what my harvest soothes ? 
     A        Bm           G      D 
My questions flow from my bitter soul 


            Bm                          G         D 
Where were you, in the night, when the roof came down? 
            Bm                          G         D 
Where were you, holding light, when the fire went out? 
           Bm                      G            D 
Where were you, El Shaddai, El Shaddai, El Shaddai? 
      G 
You answer me, you answer, 
           Bm                          G          D   Dsus D   Dsus 
Where were you, little child, when the world was made? 
          Bm                        G          D      Dsus D   Dsus 
Who made you, reconciled, when the blood was paid? 
      Bm                     G           D       Dsus  D    Dsus 
It was I, El Shaddai, El Shaddai, El Shaddai 
      Bm                     G          D        Dsus  D    Dsus 
It was I, El Shaddai, El Shaddai, you cry
