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.
