guitar chords lyrics
Detroit City:Tom Jones.
#27 in 1967.
#1.
E B E
Last night, I went to sleep in Detroit City.
B E
I dreamed about them cotton fields and home.
E A E
I dreamed about my Mother, dear old Pappy,
F#
sister and brother..and I dreamed about that girl,
B
who`s been waiting for so long.
CHORUS:
B E A
I wanna go home..I wanna go home.
E B E
Oh, how I wanna go home.
#2.
E B E
Home folks think I`m big in Detroit City.
E B E
From the letters that I write, they think I`m just fine.
(Yes, they do.)
A E
But by day, I make the cars, and by night, I make the bars.
F# B
If only they could read between the lines.
SPOKEN:Ad lib.
B
Cause you know I rode a freight train north,
E
to Detroit City.
E B
And after all these years I find, I`ve just been
E
wasting my time.
A
You know what I`m gonna do?..I`m gonna take my foolish pride,
E
get it on a southbound freight and let it ride.
F# B
I`m gonna go back to the loved ones..the ones that I left
waiting so far behind.
CHORUS:
B E A
I wanna go home..I wanna go home.
E B E
Oh, how I wanna go home.
(Can`t you hear me?)
CHORUS:
B E A
I wanna go home..I wanna go home.
E B E
Oh, how I wanna go home.
(Somebody help me!)
OUTRO:
B E A
I wanna go home..I wanna go home.
E B E
Oh, how I wanna go home.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
