[B] [D]
[G]
[D]
Last night I went [A] to sleep in Detroit [D] City I [A] dreamed about them cotton fields [D] in my home
[G] I dreamed about my mother, [D] your old sister, papa and brother
[E] I dreamed about that sweetheart [A] who's been waiting for so long
I wanna [D] go home, I wanna [G] go [D] home, [G] [D] I wanna go [A] home
Now home folks, they [A] think I'm big in Detroit [D] City
And from [A] the letters that I write, they think [D] I'm fine
[F#] But [G] by day I make the cards, and [D] by night I make the bars
[E] If only they could read between [Em] the lines
[A]
I [D] wanna go home, I wanna [G] go home,
[D] I wanna [A] go home
[D]
[D#]
[D]
[A] One day I just hopped that [D] first train north, I rode up to Detroit City
[A] But after all these years, [D] I just wasted the time
[G] So I think I'll just take my foolish pride, [D] put it on that southbound freight and ride
[E] Gone back to the loved ones [A] I've left waiting far behind
I wanna [D] go home, I wanna [G] go [A]
[G] home, [D] I wanna go [A] home
