[Verse]
E B E
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit city
B E
And I dreamed about the cotton fields at home.
A E
I dreamed about my mother, dear old Papa, sister and brother
F# B
And I dreamed about that girl who’s been waiting for so long.
E A E B E F F# F
I wanna go home, I wanna go home, oh how I wanna go home.
[Verse 2]
E B E
Home, folks think I’m big in Detroit city,
B E
From the letters that I write they thinks I’m just fine, yes they do
A E
But by day I make the cars, by night I make the bars
F# B
If only they could read between the lines! If they could
[Verse 3]
E B E
‘cause you know, I rode the freight train north to Detroit city,
B E
And after all these years I find that I’ve just been wastin’ my time.
A E
So I just think that I’ll take my foolish pride and put it on a south bound freight and let it ride
F# B
Going back to the loved ones, the ones that I left waitin’ so far behind.

I wanna go home, I wanna go home, oh how I wanna go home.
