E B E Last night, I went to sleep in Detroit City. B E I dreamed about them cotton fields and home. E A E I dreamed about my Mother, dear old Pappy, F# sister and brother..and I dreamed about that girl, B who`s been waiting for so long.
CHORUS:
B E A I wanna go home..I wanna go home. E B E Oh, how I wanna go home.

#2.
E B E Home folks think I`m big in Detroit City. E B E From the letters that I write, they think I`m just fine.
(Yes, they do.)
A E But by day, I make the cars, and by night, I make the bars. F# B If only they could read between the lines.
SPOKEN:Ad lib.
B Cause you know I rode a freight train north, E to Detroit City. E B And after all these years I find, I`ve just been E wasting my time. A You know what I`m gonna do?..I`m gonna take my foolish pride, E get it on a southbound freight and let it ride. F# B I`m gonna go back to the loved ones..the ones that I left
waiting so far behind.
CHORUS:
B E A I wanna go home..I wanna go home. E B E Oh, how I wanna go home.
(Can`t you hear me?)
RIFF: (First 2 parts.)
CHORUS:
B E A I wanna go home..I wanna go home. E B E Oh, how I wanna go home.
(Somebody help me!)
OUTRO:
B E A I wanna go home..I wanna go home. E B E Oh, how I wanna go home.
