    • 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 dark
    ness 
    falls 

    Verse 2
    I heard 
    the wind 
    rustling 

    through 
    the trees 

    And 
    ghostly 
    voices 
    rose 
    from 
    the 
    fields 

    I ran 
    with 
    my 
    heart 
    pounding 

    down 
    that 
    broken 
    path 

    With 
    the devil 
    snappin' 
    at 
    my 
    heels 

    Verse 3
    I broke 
    through 
    the 
    trees, 

    and 
    there 
    in 
    the night 

    My 
    father
    's 
    house 
    stood 
    shining 

    hard 
    and 
    bright 

    The branches 
    and 
    brambles 
    tore 
    my 

    clothes 
    and 
    scratched 
    my arms 

    But 
    I ran 
    till 
    I 
    fell, 
    shaking 
    in 
    his arms 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 4
    I 
    awoke 
    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 
    its 
    windows 
    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" 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 6
    My 
    father's 
    house 
    shines 

    hard 
    and 
    bright 

    It stands 
    like 
    a beacon 
    calling 

    me 
    in 
    the 
    night 

    Calling 
    and 
    calling, 

    so 
    cold 
    and 
    alone 

    Shining 
    'cross 
    this 
    dark 
    highway 

    where 
    our 
    sins 
    lie 
    unatoned

    • 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.”
