A 
D 
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit city,
A 
And I dreamed about those
D 
cotton fields and home,
G 
I dreamed about my mother,
D 
dear old papa, sister and brother,
E 
And I dreamed about that girl,
A 
who's been waitin' for so long
D 
I want to go home,

Verse 3

I want to go home,

Oh Lord, I want to go home

Verse 4
A 
E 
A 
Home folks think I'm big in Detroit city,
F#m 
E 
From  the letters that I write
A 
they think I'm fine,
D 
But by day I make the cars,
A 
and by night I make the bars,
B 
If only they could read
E 
between the lines

Verse 5

I want to go home, I want to go home,

Oh Lord, I want to go home

Verse 6
E 
You know, I rode a freight
A 
train north to Detroit city,
E 
And after all these years I find
A 
I've just been wasting my time,
D 
So I think I'll take my foolish pride,
A 
put it on a southbound freight and ride,
B 
Go on back to the ones I left,
E 
who've been waitin' for so long
