Bobby Bare - Detroit City (cleaned Up) guitar chord

Detroit City

By Bobby Bare

Chorus:

C C7 F

I wanna go home, I wanna go home

C G C

Oh how I wanna go home

C G C

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City

G C C7

And I dreamed about the cotton fields and home

F C

I dreamed about my momma, dear old papa, sister, and brother

D G

And I dreamed about the girl who’s been waiting for so long

Chorus

Home folks think I’m big in Detroit City

From the letters that I write they think I’m fine

But by day I make the cars, by night I make the bars

If only they could read between the lines

Chorus

Recite last verse:

Cause you know I rode a freight train north to Detroit City

And after all these years I find I’ve been wasting my time

So I just think I’ll take my foolish pride and put it on the southbound freight and ride

And go on back to the loved ones, the ones I left waiting so far behind

Chorus
