    Verse 1
    Sunlight 
    blinking 

    through 
    the cypress 
    knees 

    Lays 
    shadow 
    steps 
    in 
    front 
    of 
    Jacob 
    and 
    me 

    As 
    if 
    we're 
    guided 
    by 
    the 
    heavens' eye 

    On 
    ladder 
    road 
    down 
    to

    levee 
    town 


    Verse 2
    Quick 
    as 
    lightning, 

    news 
    is 
    frightening 

    Kayla, my 
    neighbor, 

    where 
    you 
    running 
    to? 

    Yelling, 
    "Thunder! 
    The 
    prophets 

    have 
    not 
    blundered 

    The 
    great 
    locks 
    are 
    opening 
    soon." 

    Verse 3
    The 
    river 
    is 
    high 
    and 
    the 
    sandbags 

    are 
    sinking 
    low 

    Whoa, 
    they're 
    rocking 
    the 
    cradle 

    But 
    some 
    day 
    we'll 
    rock- 
    a- 
    bye 
    and 
    roll 

    Out 
    the 
    red 
    carpet 
    'long 
    the 
    Atchafalaya 

    And 
    we'll 
    snake 
    up 
    the 
    river 

    and 
    re
    joice 
    in 
    style 

    Break 
    out 
    bottle 
    of 
    fine 
    gulping 
    wine 

    And 
    raise 
    Cain 
    down 
    in 

    the 
    levee 
    town 

    Verse 4

    heard 
    old 
    Moses 
    was 
    hired 
    to 
    go 

    By 
    the 
    Corps 
    of 
    Engineers 
    to 
    run 
    this 
    show 

    Out 
    of 
    the 
    Basin, 
    two 
    by 
    two 

    Just 
    ask 
    Noah, 
    he 
    knows 
    what 
    to 
    do

    cradle 

    But 
    some 
    day 
    we'll 
    rock- 
    a- 
    bye 
    and 
    roll 

    Out 
    the 
    red 
    carpet 
    'long

    Interlude 2



    In 
    the 
    Verse 6
    eye 
    of 
    the storm, 

    we 
    will 
    face 
    our 
    fears 

    At 
    the 
    reckon
    ing 
    place, 

    all 
    channels 
    wind 
    up 
    here 

    Verse 7
    Live 
    oaks 
    point 
    the way 
    with 
    twisted 

    trunks 
    under 
    mossy 
    drapes 

    So 
    pull 
    back 
    the curtain, 

    the 
    Devil 
    be 
    damned 

    Into 
    the 
    fog, 
    we 
    will 
    make 
    our 
    stand 

    But 
    the 
    word 
    gets 
    around, 

    so 
    don't 
    be 
    surprised 

    At 
    who 
    shows 
    up 
    down 

    in 
    the 
    levee 
    town 

    Verse 8
    The 
    river 
    is 
    high 
    and 
    the 

    sandbags 
    are sinking 
    low 

    Hey, 
    they're 
    rocking 
    the 
    cradle 

    But 
    some 
    day 
    rock- 
    a- 
    bye 
    and 
    roll 

    Out 
    the 
    red 
    carpet 
    'long 
    the 

    Atchafalaya 


    And 
    we'll snake 
    up 
    the 
    river 

    and 
    rejoice 
    in 
    style 

    Break 
    out 
    bottle 
    of 
    fine 
    gulping 
    wine 

    And 
    raise 
    Cain 
    down 
    in 
    the

    • 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.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      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 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      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.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
