Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City.

        D7                                    G   G7
And, I dreamed about those cotton fields and home.

   C                                G
I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sister and brother,      

       A                A7                   D              D7            
and I dreamed about the girl.... who?s been waiting for so long.
[Chorus]
NC         G                  C
I wanna go home....I wanna go home

G          D7       C
Oh, how I wanna go home.
[Instrumental] G D G D G D G# D# G# D# G# D# G D G D G D G# D# G# D# G# D# G [Verse]
G                    D7              G
Home folks think I?m big in Detroit City

          D7                                   G   G7
From the letters that I write , they think I?m fine.

   C                           G
By day I make the cars.....by night I make the bars

    A                    A7               D7
If only they could only read between the lines...
[Verse]
G                           D7                             G
Cause you know... I rode a freight train north to Detroit City,

          D7                                                 G    G7
And after all these years , I find I?ve just been wasting my time.

     C
So I just think I?ll take my foolish pride 

                G
and put it on a south bound freight and ride

          A            A7
and go on back to the loved ones 

                 D             D7
The ones I left waiting so far behind
[Chorus]
NC         G                  C
I wanna go home....I wanna go home

G         D7       G
Oh, how I wanna go home.
