E                     B                ELast night, I went to sleep in Detroit City.
  B                                    EI dreamed about them cotton fields and home.
E A                                 EI dreamed about my Mother, dear old Pappy,
                          F#sister and brother..and I dreamed about that girl,
           Bwho`s been waiting for so long.

CHORUS:
B          E                AI wanna go home..I wanna go home.

E                    B              EHome folks think I`m big in Detroit City.
E                       B                          EFrom the letters that I write, they think I`m just fine.
(Yes, they do.)
       A                            EBut by day, I make the cars, and by night, I make the bars.
   F#                               BIf only they could read between the lines.

SPOKEN:Ad lib.
BCause you know I rode a freight train north,
           Eto Detroit City.
E         BAnd after all these years I find, I`ve just been 
           Ewasting my time.
                                 AYou know what I`m gonna do?..I`m gonna take my foolish pride,
            Eget it on a southbound freight and let it ride.
    F#                                   BI`m gonna go back to the loved ones..the ones that I left

waiting so far behind.

CHORUS:
B          E                AI wanna go home..I wanna go home.
E         B        EOh, how I wanna go home.
(Can`t you hear me?)

CHORUS:
B          E                AI wanna go home..I wanna go home.
E         B        EOh, how I wanna go home.
(Somebody help me!)

OUTRO:
B          E                AI wanna go home..I wanna go home.
E         B        EOh, how I wanna go home.
