[E]
[F]
[B] [F] [E]
I want to go home.
I want to [A] go home.
[E] Oh, [B] I want [E] to go home.
Last night I went [B] to sleep [E] in Detroit City.
And [B] I dreamed about those cotton [G#m] [F#] [E] fields and home.
I [A] dreamed about my mother, their [E] old father, sister, and brother.
[F#]
Dreamed about that girl [B] who's been waiting for so long.
I want [E] to go home.
I want [A] to go home.
[E]
Oh, I [B] want [E] to go home.
[F] [B]
My own books they got [F#] me in [B] Detroit City.
[F#] From the letters that I write they think I'm [B] fine.
[F#] [Bm] [B] [A#] [A] [D#] But by [E] day I make the cards.
[B] By night I make the books.
[C#] If only they could read between [F#] the lines.
[B] Because you know, [F#] I rode freight train [B] north to Detroit City.
And [F#] after all these years I find I [B] just been wasting my time.
So [E] I just think I'll take my foolish pride [B] and put it on a southbound freight ride.
[C#] Go on back to the loved ones, the ones I [F#] left waiting so far behind.
[F#m] I want to [B] go home.
[C#] I [G#m] want to [E] go home.
[G#m] [C#] [B] Oh, I [F#] want to go home.
[B]
[E]
I want to go home.
I want to [A] go home.
Oh, [E]
I [B] want [E] to go home.
[F] [E]
Thank you very much.
You've been a great audience and I love you.
[N] Thank you, buddy.
