[E] [F]
[B] [F]
[E] I wanna go home, I wanna [A] go home,
[E] oh I [B] wanna [E] go home
Last night I went [B] to sleep in [E] Detroit City
And [B] I dreamed about those cotton fields [E] and home
I [A]
dreamed about my mother, [E] dear old papa, sister and brother
I [F#]
dreamed about that girl [B] who's been waiting for so long
I wanna go [E] home, I [A] wanna go home,
[E] oh now I [B] wanna [E] go home
[F]
[B]
Home folks think [F#] I'm big in Detroit [B] 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] As you know, [F#] I rode a freight train [B] north to Detroit City
And [F#] after all these years I find that I've just been [E] wasting [B] my time
So I just [E] think I'll take my foolish pride
And put it on the [G#m] southbound freight and [B] ride
Go on [C#] back to the loved ones, the ones that I [F#] left waiting so far behind
[F#m] I wanna [B] go home, [E] I wanna go home,
[B] oh [F#] now I wanna
[B] go home
[F] [E]
[B] [F]
