Chords

This is the way Mike played it at his live shows. It's my first tab. And I think it's extremely important for anyone, especially from Michigan, to know this powerful song. Cheers. [Verse 1]
        E
I'm a writer and a lover

        B
I'm a Midwest music man

          A
And I've been to a lot of places

              E
But I'm gon' end where I began

         E
I took class in Carolina

 B
Got high smoking joints

              A
And now they know my name in Paris

              E
But I'll be buried in Detroit
[Chorus]
            E               B
Next to my father, and my father's father too

           A
I used to live in New York City

                E
But baby, that ain't no substitute

              E
Not for my hometown

       B
That place people avoid

            A
I've made love in every city

             E
But I'll be buried in Detroit
[Verse 2]
          E
I don't claim to be a prophet

B
I just speak my mind

   A
I try to tell it like it is

               E
And sometimes God makes it rhyme

            E
I like my songs how I like my women

  B
Honest and to the point

           A
You see I got fucked up in Stockholm

             E
But I'll be buried in Detroit
[Chorus]
            E               B
Next to my father, and my father's father too

           A
I used to live in New York City

                E
But baby, that ain't no substitute

              E
Not for my hometown

       B
That place people avoid

            A
I've made love in every city

             E
But I'll be buried in Detroit
[Verse 3]
            E
You know I ain't gon' live forever

 B
Baby, it won't be long

         A
At the wake they'll say "He made a lot of mistakes,

     E
But he could write hell of a song"

       E
And I made, I made killing

           B
Though I never really was employed

         A                   (Pause)
I had a girl from San Diego
[Outro]
             E             (Pause)
But I'll be buried in

             E  B   A       (Pause)
I killed a show in Indonesia

             E             (Pause)
But I'll be buried in

         E     B       A   (Pause)
I made love in every city

 (A capella)    B   A    E
But I'll be buried in Detroit
