Detroit City

E F F# E E B E 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.
