    This 
    city 
    won't wash 
    away 
    Verse 1


    This 
    city 
    ever drown 

    Blood 
    in the water 
    and 
    hell 
    to pay 

    Sky 
    tear 
    open 
    and pain 
    rain 
    down 

    Does
    n't matter 
    'cause come 
    what 
    may 

    I 
    ain't ever 
    gonna 
    leave 
    this 
    town 

    This 
    city 
    won't 
    wash 
    away 

    This 
    city 
    won't 
    ever drown 

    Verse 2

    Ain't the 
    river 
    or the 
    wind 
    to blame 

    Every 
    around 
    here 
    knows 

    Nothin' 
    holdin' 
    back 
    Pon
    chartrain 

    Except 
    for 
    a prayer 

    and a promise's 
    ghost 

    We just 
    carry 
    on 
    diggin' 
    our 
    graves 

    In 
    solid 
    marble 
    above 
    the 
    ground 

    Maybe 
    our 
    bones'll wash 
    away 

    But this 
    city 
    won't 
    ever drown 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 3
    This 
    city 
    won't 
    ever die 

    Just 
    as long 
    as her heart 
    beats 
    strong 

    Like 
    a second 
    line 
    steppin' 

    high' 

    Raisin' hell 
    as 
    we 
    roll 
    along 

    Gently 
    to the 
    Vieux 
    Carre 

    Lower 
    Nine, 
    Central 
    City, 
    Uptown 

    Singin' 
    Jacamo Fee-Nah-Nay 

    This 
    This 
    city 
    won't 
    ever drown 

    Doesn't 
    mat
    ter 
    'cause 

    there ain't 
    no 
    way 

    I'm 
    ever 
    gonna 
    leave 
    this 
    town 

    This 
    city 
    won't wash 
    away 

    This 
    city 
    won't 
    ever drown

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
