Verse 1
(G major) (D major) (G major) Last night,
I went to sleep (D major) in Detroit City (G major) (F major) (G major)
And I dreamed (D major) about the
cotton fields (G major) and home (F major) (G major)
I (C major) dreamed about my mother,
dear (G major) old papa, sister and brother
And I (A major) dreamed about the girl
who's been (D major) waiting for me so long
I want to go (G major) home. (F major)
I (G major) want to go home. (C major)
(G major) Oh, how I (D major) want to go (G major) home.
Home folks think I'm big (D major) in Detroit City
(G major) From the (D major) letters that I write,
they think I'm fine (G major)
But by the (C major) day, I make the cars
By (G major) the night, I make the bars
If (A major) only they could read between the (D major) lines
I want to go home (G major)
I (F major) (G major) want to go home (C major)
Oh, (G major) how I (D major) want to go home (G major) (D major)
Cause you (G major) know I rode a freight train
north to Detroit City
(D major) And after all these years I find
I've just been (G major) wasting my time
So I just think I'll (C major) take my foolish pride
And put it on a south
(G major) bound freight and ride
And go on back to the (A minor) loved ones
(A major) The ones that I left waiting so (D major) far behind
I want to go home (G major)
I (F major) (Gsus4) (G major) want to go (C major) home
Oh, (G major) how I (D major) want to go home (G major)
Oh, how I want (D major) to (A major) go home (G major)
Oh, how I (D major) want to go home
