Detroit  City


Ê


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


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


Ê


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,


Ê


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


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


Ê


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,


Ê


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


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


Ê


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,


ÊI've left waitin' so far  behind,


Ê


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


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