    Verse 1
    Come 
    listen, 
    good 
    people, 

    wherever 
    you 
    are 

    And 
    hear 
    sad 
    story 

    you've 
    been 
    waiting 
    for 

    About 
    the 
    flood 
    of 
    57, 

    as 
    it 
    happened 
    to 
    be, 

    In 
    Ken
    tucky, 
    old Virginia, 

    and 
    in East 
    Tennessee. 

    How 
    the 
    rains 
    came 
    down, 

    as 
    we 
    often 
    had 
    seen, 

    To 
    swell 
    broad 
    river, 

    or 
    some 
    little 
    stream. 

    But 
    this 
    was 
    different, 

    and 
    we 
    soon 
    realized 

    That 
    the 
    floods 
    were 
    raging, 

    and 
    we 
    fought 
    for 
    our 
    lives 

    Many 
    were 
    prayin' 
    as 
    never 
    be
    fore 

    As 
    the 
    high 
    muddy 
    water 

    came 
    in 
    through 
    their 
    door 

    Some 
    were 
    left 
    homeless, 

    their 
    lives 
    saved 
    and 
    strong 

    But 
    their 
    lives 
    had 
    been 
    spared, 

    and 
    the 
    cold 
    rains 
    came 
    on 

    Little 
    babies 
    were 
    crying, 

    and 
    others 
    were 
    sad 

    For 
    in 
    all 
    our 
    lives 

    we've 
    seen 
    nothing 
    so 
    bad 

    But 
    the 
    brave 
    and 
    the 
    strong 

    were 
    there 
    by 
    the 
    score 

    To 
    help 
    the 
    sick 

    and 
    need 
    to 
    safety 
    on 
    the 
    shore 

    Now 
    we 
    all 
    escaped 
    it, 
    never 
    will 
    know 

    It 
    must 
    have 
    been 
    God's 
    will, 

    it 
    was 
    not 
    time 
    to 
    go 

    And 
    by 
    the 
    help 
    of 
    his 
    mercy, 

    some 
    managed 
    to 
    smile 

    An
    face 
    the 
    disaster 

    while 
    the 
    waters 
    run 
    wild.

    • 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.
