Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I w[G]an [A]na go hom[D]e...
I wanna go [G]home...
[D]Oh, how I [A]want to go [D]home...
Last night, I went to [A]sleep in
Detroit
[D]City
And [A]dreamed about the life I left at [D]home
I [G]dreamed about my mother,
dear old [D]papa, sister and [Bm]brother
I [E]dreamed about that girl who's
been [A]waiting for so long
I [F#m]wanna [A]go [D]home, I wanna go [G]home
[D]Oh, how I [A]want to go [D]home
Home folks think I'm [A]big in
Detroit
[D]City
From the let[A]ters that I write,
they think I'm [D]fine
But by [G]day I make the calls,
by [D]night I make the [Bm]bars
If [E]they could only read between the [A]lines
[D]As you know,
[A]I took a freight train north t[D]o
Detroit
City
An[A]d after all these years,
I find that I'm just wasting [D]my time
[G]So I think I'll take my foolish pride
And put it on a freight [D]train
south and [Bm]right
[E]And go on back to the loved
ones I left [A]so far behind
I wanna go [D]home, I wanna go [G]home
[D]Oh, how I [A]want to go [D]home
Oh, how I [A]want to go [D]home
Oh, how I [A]want to go [D]home.
