Introduction:

 G                                       D7                             G 
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City
 D7                                                                       G 
I dreamed about them cotton fields of home
 C                                                                     G 
I dreamed about my mother, dear old pappa, sister and brother
             A7                                                               D7 
And I dreamed about the girl who's been waitin' for so long
                       G           G7 
I wanna go home
                       C

 G                 D7             G 
Oh, how I wanna go home
 G                                       D7                         G 
Home folks think I'm big in Detroit City
                   D7                                                                             G 
From the letters that I write they think I'm just fine, yes they do
               C                                                   G 
But by day I make the cars and by night I make the bars
       A7                                                             D7 
If only they could read between the lines
SPOKEN
 G                                                                   D7                                         G 
{ ?cause you know I rode a freight train north to Detroit City
