Detroit City





(G)I want to go home, I want to go (C)home,


(G)Oh Lord, I (D)want to go (G)home,

Last night I went to (D)sleep in Detroit (G)city,


And I dreamed about those (D)cotton fields and (G)home,


I (C)dreamed about my mother,


dear old (G)papa, sister and brother,


And I (D)dreamed about that girl,


whose been waitin' for so long,


Chorus


I want to go (G)home, I want to go (C)home,


(G)Oh Lord, I (D)want to go (G)home,


�


Home folks think I'm (D)big in Detroit (G)city,


From the letters that I (D)write they think I'm (G)fine,


But by (C)day I make the cars,


by (G)night I make the bars,


If (D)only they could read


between the lines,




I want to go (G)home, I want to go (C)home,


(G)Oh Lord, I (D)want to go (G)home,





I rode a freight train (D)north to Detroit (G)city,


After all these years I've been (D)wasting my (G)time,


I'll (C)take my foolish pride,


on a (G)southbound freight and ride,


Go on (D)back to the ones,


�I've left waitin' so far behind,


�


I want to go (G)home, I want to go (C)home,


(G)Oh Lord, I (D)want to go (G)home.
