Chords for Billy Joel - Miami 2017 (Live at Jazz Fest 2013 from @AXSTV)

New Orleans. _ _ _ _ _
Now when _ Hurricane Katrina hit this town,
it hurt us up in New York too.
We all wondered what would happen if it did hit New York.
And it did.
We got Hurricane Sandy.
So we know,
all fell.
And we're trying to rebuild just like you are.
We're taking inspiration from you guys.
