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