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