Detroit City chords
Bobby Bare 1963 (Danny Dill / Mel Tillis)
[Intro]
E
[Chorus]
E E7 A
I want to go home, I want to go home
E B7 E
Oh, how I want to go home
[Verse 1]
E B7 E
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit city
B7 E E7
And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home
A
I dreamed about my mother,
E
dear old papa, sister and brother,
F#
And I dreamed about that girl,
B7
whose been waitin' for so long
[Chorus]
E E7 A
I want to go home, I want to go home
E B7 E
Oh, how I want to go home
[Verse 2]
E B7 E
Home folks think I'm big in Detroit city
B7 E E7
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine
A
But by day I make the cars,
E
by night I make the bars
F# B7
If only they could read between the lines
[Spoken]
I rode a freight train north to Detroit city
After all these years I've been wasting my time
I'll take my foolish pride,
on a southbound freight and ride
Go on back to the ones,
I've left waitin' so far behind
[Chorus]
E E7 A
I want to go home, I want to go home
E B7 E
Oh, how I want to go home
