DETROIT CITY

                                                   (Mel Tillis - Danny Dill)

                      E     E7                  A
 I wanna go home, I wanna go home
  E              B7             E
Oh how I wanna go home

   E                            B7                       E
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City
              B7                                                      E       E7
And I dreamed about those cottonfields and home
      A                                                     E                        C#m
I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa sister and brother
      F#m                                                 B7
I dreamed about that girl who's been waiting for so long
                    E     E7                   A      E              B7             E
I wanna go home, I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home

B                              F#7                   B
Homefolks think I'm big in Detroit City
                 F#7                                       B    B7
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine
             E                                   B                     G#m
But by day I make the cars by night I make the bars
    C#7                                               F#7
If only they could read between the lines

Spoken:
Cause you know I rode a freight train north to Detroit City

And after all these years I find I've just been wastin' my time

So I just think I'll take my foolish pride

And put it on a Southbound freight and ride

And go on back to the loved ones the ones that I left waitin' so far behind

                    B    B7                    E      B              F#m           B
I wanna go home, I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home
