    Verse 1
    was 
    done 

    hoeing, out 
    in 
    the 
    fields 
    for 
    the 
    day, 

    I was 
    thinking 
    of going, 

    had 
    to leave 
    right 
    away, 

    My 
    life 
    is 
    just fading, 

    and oh 
    felt so 
    alone, 

    The nearest 
    young 
    maiden 
    was, 

    a full 
    day's ride 
    from 
    home. 

    My 
    father was 
    reading, 

    the 
    holy books 
    in his room, 

    My heart 
    was just 
    bleeding, 

    knew I 
    had to 
    go 
    soon, 

    He smiled 
    and 
    pointed 

    at an old 
    wooden 
    chair, 

    wanted 
    to 
    hold 
    him, 

    but 
    then I 
    just 
    wouldn't 
    dare. 

    I said, 
    father, there's 
    so 
    much to 
    know, 

    Verse 2

    There's 
    world 
    of things 
    to see, 

    And 
    I'm ready to 
    go and make 

    life 
    for 
    myself 

    If you give 
    me 
    what 
    is 
    mine, 

    I will 
    go, 
    if I can 
    have your blessing, 

    But if 
    you 
    won't 
    bless my 
    journey, 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    leave 
    anyway. 

    Son, 
    I've always 
    tried 
    my best 
    Verse 3
    for 
    you, 

    And 
    if you 
    must 
    be 
    leaving 
    home, 

    then go 
    with 
    the 
    blessing of 
    god. 

    Not too many 
    days 
    later, 

    was 
    well on 
    my 
    way, 

    met a traveling 
    stranger, 

    who seemed 
    to 
    have much to 
    say, 

    He 
    told 
    me tales 
    of 
    the city, 

    and all 
    the 
    women 
    he'd 
    had, 

    asked him, 
    wasn't 
    that 
    sinful, 

    Verse 4
    He said, 
    no, it 
    isn't 
    that 
    bad. 

    And 
    then 
    a few 
    days 
    later, 

    on an old 
    city 
    road, 

    We 
    were drowning 
    in laughter, and 

    we 
    had 
    women 
    to hold, 

    And 
    this went on 
    quite 
    a long 

    time, my father 
    gave me 
    lot, 

    But 
    when my pockets 
    were empty, 

    my friends 
    all left 
    me 
    to 
    rot. 

    Then a famine 
    hit 
    and 
    drained 
    the land, 

    Verse 5
    Everywhere 

    looked I saw 
    starvation, 

    and 
    a job 
    was 
    nowhere 
    to 
    find, 

    I wandered 
    through 
    the 
    city 
    streets, 

    competing 
    for 
    the 
    food of 
    common 
    beggers, 

    Until 
    then I'd never 
    known hunger

    , but 
    now I wasn't 
    too proud. 

    Verse 6
    finally 
    found 
    some employment, 

    feed
    ing 
    pigs on 
    farm, 

    wasn't 
    treated 
    to kindly, 

    had 
    to sleep 
    in the 
    barn, 

    had 
    to 
    eat 
    with 
    the 
    swine, 

    The bread 
    ate 
    was like 
    stone, 

    It 
    didn't 
    take 
    too 
    much 
    time until, 

    was 
    dreaming 
    of 
    home. 

    Oh, 
    the servants 
    there are 
    better 
    fed, 
    If I 
    could only 
    Verse 7

    have 
    what my 

    father gives 
    them, 

    I would truly 
    need 
    noth
    ing 
    more. 

    Oh, I will 
    go 
    and 
    say to 
    him, 

    I'm 
    no longer 
    worthy 
    to 
    be in your 
    family, 


    Will you take 
    me as 
    your 
    servant, 

    and 
    let 
    me 
    live 
    with 
    them 

    It 
    didn't 
    take 
    too long to 
    Verse 8
    pack 
    my things, 

    left 
    with 
    only 
    what 
    wore, 

    And 
    prayed 
    that I still 
    had 
    home. 

    Verse 9
    I was 
    near 
    home, 

    in 
    site 
    of the house, 

    My father 
    just stared, 

    dropped open 
    his mouth, 

    He 
    ran 
    up 
    the 
    road, 
    and 
    fell to 
    my feet, 

    and 
    cried, 
    and 
    cried, 

    Father 
    I've 
    sinned, 

    heaven 
    ashamed, 

    I'm no longer 
    worthy 
    to wear 
    your 
    name, 


    I've learned 
    that my 
    home 

    is right 
    where you are, 

    Oh father, 
    take me in. 

    Bring 
    the 
    be
    st robe, 
    put it on 
    Verse 10

    my 
    son, 

    Shoes for 
    his 
    feet, 
    hurry 
    put 
    them 
    on, 

    This 
    is my 
    son 
    who 

    thought 
    had 
    died, 

    Prepare 
    a feast 
    for 
    my son's 
    alive, 


    I've prayed 
    and prayed, 

    never 
    heard 
    a sound, 

    My son 
    was 
    lost, oh 
    thank you God 
    he's 
    found, 


    My son 
    was 
    dead and he's 
    now 
    alive, 

    Prepare 
    a feast 
    for my 
    son's alive, 


    My son was dead, 

    My son was 
    lost, 

    My son's 
    returned 
    in the 
    hands of 
    god.

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
