Detroit City Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Chorus 1]
[C][A][G][A][C]
I wanna go [C]home
I wanna go [F]home
[C]Oh Lord, I [G]wanna go [C]home

[Verse 1]
Last [C]night I went to [G]sleep in Detroit [C]City
And I [G]dreamed about
those cotton fields and [C]home
I [F]dreamed about my mother
dear old [C]papa, sister and brother
I [D]dreamed about that girl
who's been [G]waiting for so long

[Chorus 2]
I wanna go [C]home
I wanna go [F]home
[C]Oh Lord, I [G]wanna go [C]home[A][G][G]

[Verse 2]
[G]Home folks think I'm [D]big in Detroit [G]City
From the [D]letters that I write
they think I'm [G]fine
But by [C]day I make the cars
by [G]night I make the bars
If [A]only they could read between the [D]lines

[Verse 3]
[G]'Cause you know
[D]I rode a freight train north to Det[G]roit City
And after [D]all these years I find
I've just been wasting my [G]time
So I just think I'll take [C]ol' Charley Pride
put him on a [G]Southbound freight and ride
And go on [A]back to the loved ones
The ones that I left [D]waiting so far behind

[Chorus 3]
I wanna go [G]home
I wanna go [C]home
[G]Oh Lord, I [D]wanna go [G]home[A][C]
I wanna go [C]home, I wanna go home
[Fade out]
