Detroit City:Tom Jones.
#27 in 1967.

#1.
E5                     B5                E5
Last night, I went to sleep in Detroit City.
  B5                                    E5
I dreamed about them cotton fields and home.
E5 A5                                 E5
I dreamed about my Mother, dear old Pappy,
                          F#5
sister and brother..and I dreamed about that girl,
           B5
who`s been waiting for so long.

CHORUS:
B5          E5                A5
I wanna go home..I wanna go home.
E5         B5        E5
Oh, how I wanna go home.

#2.
E5                    B5              E5
Home folks think I`m big in Detroit City.
E5                       B5                          E5
From the letters that I write, they think I`m just fine.
(Yes, they do.)
       A5                            E5
But by day, I make the cars, and by night, I make the bars.
   F#5                               B5
If only they could read between the lines.

SPOKEN:Ad lib.
B5
Cause you know I rode a freight train north,
           E5
to Detroit City.
E5         B5
And after all these years I find, I`ve just been 
           E5
wasting my time.
                                 A5
You know what I`m gonna do?..I`m gonna take my foolish pride,
            E5
get it on a southbound freight and let it ride.
    F#5                                   B5
I`m gonna go back to the loved ones..the ones that I left

waiting so far behind.

CHORUS:
B5          E5                A5
I wanna go home..I wanna go home.
E5         B5        E5
Oh, how I wanna go home.
(Can`t you hear me?)

CHORUS:
B5          E5                A5
I wanna go home..I wanna go home.
E5         B5        E5
Oh, how I wanna go home.
(Somebody help me!)

OUTRO:
B5          E5                A5
I wanna go home..I wanna go home.
E5         B5        E5
Oh, how I wanna go home.
