[Intro]
 
C
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C            C7                    F
I want to go home, I want to go home,
C          G7          C
Oh how, I want to go home.
 
[Verse 1]
 
C                     G                C
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit city,
G7                  
And I dreamed about 
                        C
those cotton fields & home,
F                                      C
I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa,
                Am
sister and brother
D7
And I dreamed about that girl,
G7
whose been waitin' for so long,
 
[Chorus]
 
C            C7                    F
I want to go home, I want to go home,
C          G7          C
Oh how, I want to go home.
 
[Verse 2]
 
C                    G7                C
Home folks think I'm big in Detroit city,
G7                    
From the letters that 
                          C
I write they think I'm fine,
F
But by day I make the cars,
C                    Am
by night I make the bars,
D7                                     G7
If only they could read between the lines,
 
[Chorus]
 
C            C7                    F
I want to go home, I want to go home,
C          G7          C
Oh how, I want to go home.
 
[Spoken]
 
 
C
As you know
C                      
I rode a freight train 
         G          C
north to Detroit city,
C
After all these years,
G7                             C
I find I've been wasting my time,
F
I'll take my foolish pride,
C                              D7
on a southbound train and ride,
D7
Go on back to the ones,
G7
I've left waitin' so far behind,
 
[Chorus]
 
C            C7                    F
I want to go home, I want to go home,
C          G7          C
Oh how, I want to go home.
