[B] [F] [E]
I wanna go home, I wanna [A] go home, [E]
oh [B] lord [E]
I
Last night I went [B] to sleep in [E] Detroit City
And [B] I dreamed about those cotton fields [E] and home
[A] I dreamed about my mother, dear [E] old papa, sister and brother
[F#] I dreamed about that girl [B] who's been waiting for so long
[A#] I wanna [E] go home, [G#] I wanna [A] go home, [E] oh [B] lord I

[G#] [B]
Home folks think [F#] I'm big in [B] Detroit City
[F#] From the letters that I write they think [B] I'm fine
But [E] by day I make the cards, [B] by night I make the bars
[C#] If only they could read between [F#] the lines
[B]
Cause you know, [F#] I rode a freight train north [B] to Detroit City
And after all these years I find, I've just been wasting my [B] time
So I just think I'll [E] take old Charlie Pride
Put him on [B] a southbound freight and ride
[C#] And go on back to the loved ones
The ones that I left waiting [F#]
so far behind
[B] I wanna go home, I wanna [E] go home, [B]
