guitar chords lyrics
Detroit City
(G)I want to go home, I want to go (C)home,
(G)Oh Lord, I (D)want to go (G)home,
Last night I went to (D)sleep in Detroit (G)city,
And I dreamed about those (D)cotton fields and (G)home,
I (C)dreamed about my mother,
dear old (G)papa, sister and brother,
And I (D)dreamed about that girl,
whose been waitin' for so long,
Chorus
I want to go (G)home, I want to go (C)home,
(G)Oh Lord, I (D)want to go (G)home,
�
Home folks think I'm (D)big in Detroit (G)city,
From the letters that I (D)write they think I'm (G)fine,
But by (C)day I make the cars,
by (G)night I make the bars,
If (D)only they could read
between the lines,
I want to go (G)home, I want to go (C)home,
(G)Oh Lord, I (D)want to go (G)home,
I rode a freight train (D)north to Detroit (G)city,
After all these years I've been (D)wasting my (G)time,
I'll (C)take my foolish pride,
on a (G)southbound freight and ride,
Go on (D)back to the ones,
�I've left waitin' so far behind,
�
I want to go (G)home, I want to go (C)home,
(G)Oh Lord, I (D)want to go (G)home.
