ELast (022100@1)night I went to sleep in Detroit City,
                                                A (x02220@1)and I dreamed about those cotton fields at home.

I dreamed about my mother,
            E (022100@1)dear old Papa, Sister and brother,

F# (244322@1)I dreamed about that girl
                B7 (x21202@1)who's been waiting for so long.
                E (022100@1)                         A (x02220@1)I wanna go home, I wanna go home,
B7 (x21202@1)                     E (022100@1)oh, how I wanna go home!
 EHome, (022100@1)folks think I'm big in Detroit City.
                                                A (x02220@1)From the letters that I write, they think I'm fine.

But by day, I make the cars,

E (022100@1)and by night I make the bars,
     F# (244322@1)                                B7 (x21202@1)If only they could read between the lines!

 EYou (022100@1)know,
 I rode a freight train north to Detroit City.
 After all these years,
                                      A (x02220@1)I find that I've just been wastin' my time.
 So I just think I'll take my foolish pride,
          E (022100@1)put on a south bound freight and ride,
        F# (244322@1)Goin' back to the love ones,
                B7 (x21202@1)The ones I left waitin' so far behind.
        
              E (022100@1)               AI (x02220@1)wanna go home, I wanna go home,
B7 (x21202@1)                    E (022100@1)oh, how I want to go home.
