Detroit City Tom Jones
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City,
and I dreamed about those cotton fields at home[A].
I dreamed about my mother,
dear old Pa[E]pa, Sister and brother,
I dreamed[F#] about that girl
who's been wait[B7]ing for so long.
I wanna go home[E], I wanna go home,[A]
[B7] oh, how I wanna go home![E]
H[E]ome, folks think I'm big in Detroit City.
From the letters that I write, they think I'm f[A]ine.
But by day, I make the cars,
and by [E]night I make the bars,
If o[F#]nly they could read between the line[B7]s!
(Spoken)
Y[E]ou know,
I rode a freight train north to Detroit City.
After all these years,
I find that I've just been wastin' my[A] time.
So I just think I'll take my foolish pride,
put on a [E]south bound freight and ride,
Goin' b[F#]ack to the love ones,
The ones I left[B7] waitin' so far behind.
I wanna go hom[E]e, I wanna go home[A],
[B7] oh, how I want to go ho[E]me.
