Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Dbdim][G][Dbdim][C]

[Verse 1]
Last [C]night I
went to [G]sleep in [C]Detroit City
And I dreamed [G]about the
cotton fields an[C]d home
I [F]dreamed about my mother,
dear old [C]papa, sister and brother
And I [D]dreamed about the girl
who's been [G]waiting for so long
I want to go [C]home, I want to go [F]home
[C]Oh Lord, I [G]want to go [C]home[F#dim][F]
Well, the home folks think I'm [C]big
in Detroit [F]City
From the letters [C]that I write,
they think I'm [F]fine
But by day [Bb]I make the cards,
and by [F]night I make the bars
[G]If only they could read between the [C]lines
I wanna go [F]home, I wanna go [Bb]home
[F]Oh Lord, I [C]wanna go [F]home[F#][C]
Cause you know, [G]I rode a freight train
north [C]to Detroit City
And [G]after all these years
I find I've just [C]been wasting my time
So I [F]think I'll just take my foolish pride
And [C]put it on a southbound freight ride
[D]And go back to the loved ones,
the ones I [G]left waiting so far behind.
I want to go [C]home, I want to go [F]home,
[C]oh Lord I [G]want to go [C]home,
oh Lord I [G]want to go [C]home. you
