    • Verse 1
    So there's 
    a story 
    about the 

    lady in Louisiana 

    She's 
    a flood 
    survivor 
    and 

    the rescue 
    teams 

    They come 
    through, 
    and they, 

    I guess 
    trying to recover 
    people 

    And 
    they see 
    this 
    women 
    she's 

    wading 
    through the 
    streets 

    I guess 
    it had 
    been 
    some 

    time 
    after 
    the storm 

    And I 
    guess they were 
    shocked 

    that you 
    know 
    she 
    was alive 

    And 
    rescue 
    worker 
    said, "So, 

    oh my 
    God 
    how did 
    you survive 

    How did 
    you do 
    it? Where've 

    you been?" 

    An
    d 
    she 
    said, 

    "Where 
    I been? 
    Where you 
    been?" 

    Where 
    you 
    been? 
    You 
    understand? 

    That's 
    about 
    the size 
    of 
    it 

    This for 
    the 
    street
    s, 
    Verse 2

    the streets 
    everywhere 

    The 
    streets 
    affected 
    by 
    the 
    storm 
    called, 

    America 

    I'm 
    do
    ing 
    this for 
    y'all, 
    and 
    for 
    me, 

    for 
    the Creator 

    God

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      "

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
