Last night I went [B] to sleep in [E] Detroit City
And [B] I dreamed about those cotton fields [E] and home
I [Bm]
[A] 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 [E] wanna go home, I wanna [A] go home,

Home folks think [F#] I'm big in [B] Detroit City
From [F#] 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 to [B] Detroit City
And [F#] after all these years I find, I've just been wasting my [B] time
So [F#] I just think I'll [E] take old Charlie Pride
Put him on [B] a southbound freight and ride
And [D#m] go on back to the [C#] loved ones
The ones that I left [F#] waiting so far behind
I wanna [B] go home, I wanna [E] go home,
[Bm] home on [F#] a
