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,
