[Chorus]
C
 I wanna go home
           F
I wanna go home
C         G        C
Oh, how I wanna go home

[Verse 1]
                     G       
Last night I went to sleep in 
         C
Detroit city
      G                         
And I dreamed about those cotton 
           C
fields at home
  F
I dreamed about my mother, dear old 
papa, sister and brother
  D
I dreamed about that girl
D7           G
  Who's been waiting for so long

[Chorus]
           C
I wanna go home
           F
I wanna go home
Continues after the ad
C         G          C
Oh, how I want to go home

[Verse 2]
C                    G           
Home folks think I'm big in 
   C
Detroit city
         G                         
From the letters that I write they 
          C
think I'm fine
       F
But by day I make the cars
       C
And by night I make the bars
   D    D7                        
If only they could read between 
  G
the lines

[Bridge]
C         G                      
You know, I rode a freight train 
         C
north to Detroit city
G                                 
After all these years I find I've 
                     C
just been wastin' my time
     F                             
So I just think I'll take my 
                       C
foolish pride, put on a southbound 
train and ride
                            D    
And go on back to the loved ones, 
the ones I left waitin' so far 
       G
behind

[Chorus]
           C
I wanna go home
           F
I wanna go home
C         G          C
Oh, how I want to go home

[Chorus]
C
I wanna go home
           F
I wanna go home
C         G          C
Oh, how I want to go home...
