G                    D7               G 
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City 
D7                                    G 
I dreamed about them cotton fields of home 
C                                   G 
I dreamed about my mother, dear old pappa, sister and brother 
      A7                                D7 
And I dreamed about the girl who's been waitin' for so long 

           G      G7 
I wanna go home 
           C 
I wanna go home 
G         D7       G 
Oh, how I wanna go home 

G                    D7             G 
Home folks think I'm big in Detroit City 
         D7                                       G 
From the letters that I write they think I'm just fine, yes they do 
       C                          G 
But by day I make the cars and by night I make the bars 
   A7                               D7 
If only they could read between the lines 

SPOKEN  
G                                  D7                     G  
{ ?cause you know I rode a freight train north to Detroit City 
          D7                                    G 
And after all these years I find I've just been wastin' my time 
You know what I'm gonna do?  
C 
I'm gonna take my foolish pride 
                                          G 
Get it on a southbound freight and let it ride 
    A7 
I'm gonna go back to the loved ones 
                                 D7 
The ones I left waiting so far behind} 

           G      G7 
I wanna go home 
           C 
I wanna go home 
G         D7       G 
Oh, how I wanna go home {Can't you hear me?} 

           G      G7 
I wanna go home 
           C 
I wanna go home 
G         D7       G 
Oh, how I wanna go home {Somebody help me} 

           G      G7 
I wanna go home 
           C 
I wanna go home 
G         D7       G 
Oh, how I wanna go home 

FADE Hmm, I wanna go home
