    Tom Jones - Detroit City

    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
    I wanna go home
    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
    D7 G
    And after all these years I find I've just been wastin' my time
    You know what I'm gonna do?
    C
    I'm gonna take my foolish pride
    G
    Get it on a southbound freight and let it ride
    A7
    I'm gonna go back to the loved ones
    D7
    The ones I left waiting so far behind}

    G G7
    I wanna go home
    C
    I wanna go home
    G D7 G
    Oh, how I wanna go home {Can't you hear me?}
    Oh, how I wanna go home {Can't you hear me?}

    G G7
    I wanna go home
    C
    I wanna go home
    G D7 G
    Oh, how I wanna go home {Somebody help me}

    G G7
    I wanna go home
    C
    I wanna go home
    G D7 G
    Oh, how I wanna go home

    FADE Hmm, I wanna go home
