Detroit City

INTRO: E B7 E

E B7 E

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City

B7 E

I dreamed about them cotton fields and home

A E

I dreamed about my mother, dear old Pappy, sister and brother

F#7 B

And I dreamed about the girl who's been waitin' for so long

CHORUS:

E

I wanna go home

A

I wanna go home

B7 A E

Oh how I wanna go home

INTRO

Home folks think I'm big in Detroit City

From the letters that I write they think I'm just fine, yes they do

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

If only they could read between the lines

'Cause you know I rode a freight train off to Detroit City

And after all these years I find I'm just wastin' time, you know what I"m gonna do?

I'm gonna take my foolish pride, get it on a southbound freight and let it ride

I'm gonna go back to the loved ones, the ones I left waiting so far behind

CHORUS (repeat out)
