Detroit City Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Eb][A][Eb][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Last night I
went to [A]sleep in Detroit [D]City
And I [A]dreamed about those
cotton fields and [D]home
Oh, I [G]dreamed about my mother,
my [D]dad, sisters and brothers
And I [E]dreamed about the girl
who's been [A]waiting for so long
I wanna [D]go home, I wanna go [G]home
[D]Oh Lord, I [A]want to go [D]home[Eb][A]
The home folks think I'm [E]big
in Detroit [A]City
From the [E]letters I write home,
they think I'm [A]fine
Cause [D]the day I make the cars,
and at [A]night I make the bars
If [B]only they could read
between the [E]lines[A]
Cause you [E]know,
I rode a free train [A]north to Detroit City
And [E]after all these years, I find, why,
[A]I've just been wasting my time
[D]So I think I'll take my foolish pride,
[A]put it on South Mount Friedenride
[B]And go on back to the loved ones,
the [E]ones I left behind
I wanna [A]go home, I wanna go [D]home
[A]Oh Lord, I [E]wanna go [A]home[Eb][D]
I wanna go home, I wanna go [G]home[D]
I want to go home.
