    • Verse 1
    (bruce springsteen) 

    Last night 
    I 
    dreamed 

    that 
    I 
    was 
    a child 

    Out where 
    the pines 

    grow 
    wild and 
    tall 

    I 
    was trying 
    to make 
    it 

    home through 
    the forest 

    Before 
    the 
    darkness 
    fall
    s 

    I 
    Verse 2
    heard 
    the 
    wind rust
    ling 

    through 
    the trees 

    And ghostly 
    voices 
    rose 
    from 
    the 
    fields 

    I 
    ran with my 
    heart pounding 

    down 
    that 
    broken 
    path 

    With the 
    dev
    il 
    snappin' 

    at 
    my 
    heels 

    I broke 
    Verse 3
    through 
    the 
    trees 
    and 

    there 
    in the night 

    My father's 
    house 
    stood 
    shin

    ing hard 
    and 
    bright 

    The branches 
    and 
    brambles 
    tore 
    my clothes 

    and scratched my 
    arms 

    But I ran 
    till I fell, 

    shaking 
    in his 
    arms 

    I awoke 
    Verse 4
    and I imagined 
    the hard 

    things 
    that pulled 
    us 
    apart 

    Will 
    never 
    again, 
    sir, 

    tear us 
    from 
    each other's 
    hearts 

    I got 
    dressed 
    and to 
    that 

    house 
    I 
    did ride 

    From 
    out on 
    the road, 

    I 
    could see 
    it's win
    dows 
    shining 
    in light 

    I 
    walked 
    up the 
    steps 
    Verse 5
    and 

    stood 
    on the porch 

    A woman 
    I didn't 
    recognize 
    came and spoke 

    to me 
    through a 
    chained door 

    I 
    told 
    her 
    my story 

    and who 
    I'd 
    come 
    for 

    She 
    said "I'm 
    sorry, 

    son, but 
    no one 
    by 
    that name 
    lives 
    here 
    anymore" 

    Verse 6
    My 
    father's 
    house 
    shines hard 
    and 
    bright 

    It 
    stands 
    like a 
    beacon 

    calling me 
    in the 
    night 

    Calling 
    and call
    ing, 
    so 
    cold and 
    alone 

    Shining 
    'cross 
    this dark 
    high

    way where 
    our sins 
    lie 
    unatoned

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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

      "

      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.
