Version 1Detroit City chords Bobby Bare 1963 (Danny Dill / Mel Tillis) [Intro] E [Chorus] E E7 A I wanna go home, I wanna go home E B7 E Oh, how I wanna go home [Verse 1] E B7 E Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City B7 E E7 And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home A I dreamed about my mother, E dear old papa, sister and brother, F# I dreamed about that girl, B7 who's been waiting for so long [Chorus] N.C. E E7 A I wanna go home, I wanna go home E B7 E Oh, how I wanna go home [Verse 2] E B7 E Home folks think I'm big in Detroit City B7 E E7 From the letters that I write they think I'm fine A But by day I make the cars, E by night I make the bars F# B7 If only they could read between the lines [Spoken] Cause you know, I rode a freight train north to Detroit City And after all these years I find that I've just been wastin' my time So I just think I'll take my foolish pride, and put it on a southbound freight and ride Go on back to the loved ones, The ones that I left waitin' so far behind [Chorus] N.C. E E7 A I wanna go home, I wanna go home E B7 E Oh, how I wanna go home Set8 http://sites.google-/site/guitarmusicchordsandlyrics/
