Detroit city

E
I wanna go home,
A
I wanna go home,
E B7 E
Oh, how I wanna go home.




E B7 E (E7 E)
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City.
B7 E E7
And I dreamed about them cotton fields of home.
A E
I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sister and brother,
F# B7
and I dreamed about the girl who's been waitin' for so long




E
I wanna go home,
A
I wanna go home,
E B7 E
Oh, how I wanna go home.




E B7 E (E7 E)
Home folks think I'm big in Detroit City.
B7 E E7
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine.
A E
But by day I make the cars and by night I make the bars,
F# B7
if only they could read between the lines.




E B7 E
`cause you know I rode a freight train north to Detroit City
B7 E
And after all these years I find I've just been wastin' my time
A E
So I just think I take my foolish pride, get it on a southbound freight and let it ride
F# B7
I'm gonna go back to the loved ones, the ones I left waiting so far behind




E
I wanna go home,
A
I wanna go home,
E B7 E
Oh, how I wanna go home.



E
I wanna go home,
A
I wanna go home,
E B7 E
Oh, how I wanna go home.
