Detroit City

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit city
      B                                  E
And I dreamed about the cotton fields at home.
  A                                 E
I dreamed about my mother, dear old Papa, sister and brother
      F#                                 B
And I dreamed about that girl who’s been waiting for so long.
           E                A     E        B        E F F# F
I wanna go home, I wanna go home, oh how I wanna go home.

     E                B              E
Home, folks think I’m big in Detroit city,
         B                                         E
From the letters that I write they thinks I’m just fine, yes they do
       A                       E
But by day I make the cars, by night I make the bars
   F#                               B
If only they could read between the lines! If they could

E                  B                               E
‘cause you know, I rode the freight train north to Detroit city,
                    B                                           E
And after all these years I find that I’ve just been wastin’ my time.
          A                                                     E
So I just think that I’ll take my foolish pride and put it on a south bound freight and let it ride
F#                                                 B
Going back to the loved ones, the ones that I left waitin’ so far behind.

           E                A     E        B        E    B
I wanna go home, I wanna go home, oh how I wanna go home.
           E                A     E        B        E    B
I wanna go home, I wanna go home, oh how I wanna go home.
           E                A     E        B        E
I wanna go home, I wanna go home, oh how I wanna go home.
