[E] [F] I [B] [F]
[E] wanna go home, I [A] wanna go home, [E] oh, [B] I wanna [E] go home.
Last night I went [B] to sleep in [E] Detroit City, [B] and I dreamed about those cotton [E] fields and home.
[A] I dreamed about my mother, [E] dear old papa, sister and brother.
[F#] I dreamed about that girl [B] who's been waiting for so long.
[E] I wanna go home, I [A] wanna go home, [E] oh, [B] I [E] wanna go home.
[F] [B]
Home folks [F#] think I'm big in [B] Detroit City.
[F#] From the letters that I write, they [B] think I'm fine.
But [E] by day I make the cars, [B] by night I make the bars.
[C#] If only they could read [F#] between the lines.
[B] As you [F#] know, I rode a freight train [B] north to Detroit City.
[F#] And after all these years I find I've just been [B] wasting my time.
So I [E] just think I'll take my foolish pride and put it on the [G#m] southbound freight [B] and ride.
Go [C#] on back to the loved ones, the ones that [F#] I left waiting so far behind.
[F#m] I [B] wanna go home, I [E] wanna go home, [B] oh, [F#] I wanna [B] go home.
