Intro

[A]

(Spoken 1)

[A]

Well the cotton land played out every year and we went north to the big car factory up north

[A]

And you remember those car 1951 models?

[A]

That you see driving around town that the fender were all beat up on

[A]

And the cars as been wreck and in bad shape I made those cars in Detroit

(Verse 1)

[A] [E] [A]

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City

[E] [A]

And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home

[D] [A]

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

[B7] [E]

I dreamed about that girl who(s been waiting for so long

(Chorus)

[A] [D]

I wanna go home, I wanna go home

[A] [E] [A]

Oh how I want to go home

(Verse 2)

[A] [E] [A]

Home folks think I'm big in Detroit City

[E] [A]

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

[D] [A]

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

[B7] [E]

If only they could read between the lines

(Spoken 2)

[E] [A] [E]

But you know I rode a freight train north to Detroit city

[E] [A]

And after all these years I find; that I was just wastin’ my time

[D] [A]

So I think I’ll just take my foolish pride, put it on a Southbound freight and ride

[B7] [E]

And go home back to love’s one; I left waitin’here behind

(Chorus)

[A] [D]

I wanna go home, I wanna go home

[A] [E] [A] [D] [A]

Oh how I want to go home
