Detroit City Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

E

I Ewant to go homeE7, I want to go Ahome

EOh, how I B7want to go Ehome

ELast night I went to B7sleep in Detroit Ecity

And I B7dreamed about those cotton fields and Ehome E7

I Adreamed about my mother,

dear old Epapa, sister and brother,

And I F♯dreamed about that girl,

whose been B7waitin' for so long

I Ewant to go homeE7, I want to go Ahome

EOh, how I B7want to go Ehome

Home Efolks think I'm B7big in Detroit Ecity

From the B7letters that I write they think I'm EfineE7

But by Aday I make the cars,

by Enight I make the bars

If F♯only they could read between the B7lines

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

I Ewant to go homeE7, I want to go Ahome

EOh, how I B7want to go Ehome
