D                G    D            A       D
I wanna go home, I wanna go home, oh Lord, I wanna go home,

[Verse 1]
      D               A                D
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit city,
        A                   A7                D
and I dreamed about those cotton fields back home,
     G                         D
I dreamed about my mama, dear old papa, sister and brother,
 E                                     A              A7
dreamed about that girl who has been waiting for so long,

[Chorus]
            D                G    D            A       D
I wanna go home, I wanna go home, oh Lord, I wanna go home,

[Verse 2]
       D              A               D
Some folks think I'm big in Detroit city,
           A             A7                     D
from the letters that I write, they think I'm fine,
        G                        D
But by day I make the cars, by night I make the bars,
    E                                 A - A7
if only they could read between the lines,

[Chorus/Outro]
            D                G    D            A       D
I wanna go home, I wanna go home, oh Lord, I wanna go home,
            D                G    D            A       D
I wanna go home, I wanna go home, oh Lord, I wanna go home,
            D                G    D            A       D
I wanna go home, I wanna go home, oh Lord, I wanna go home,
