[Intro]
 
E5 E5/F E5/F# E5/F E
 
[Chorus]
 
           E    E7           A
I wanna go home,  I wanna go home
E         B7       E
Oh, how I wanna go home
 
[Verse 1]
 
     E               B7               E
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City
      B7                                    E    E7
And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home
  A
I dreamed about my mother,
         E
dear old papa, sister and brother,
  F#
I dreamed about that girl,
           B7
who's been waiting for so long
 
[Chorus]
 
           E    E7           A
I wanna go home,  I wanna go home
E         B7       E
Oh, how I wanna go home
 
[Verse 2]
 
E                    B7             E
Home folks think I'm big in Detroit City
         B7                                  E    E7
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine
       A
But by day I make the cars,
   E
by night I make the bars
   F#                               B7
If only they could read between the lines
 
[Spoken]
 
Cause you know, I rode a freight train north to Detroit City
And after all these years I find that I've just been wastin' my time
So I just think I'll take my foolish pride, and
put it on a southbound freight and ride
Go on back to the loved ones,
The ones that I left waitin' so far behind
 
[Chorus]
 
           E    E7           A
I wanna go home,  I wanna go home
E         B7       E
Oh, how I wanna go home
