Biography:
Bobby Bare (born Robert Joseph Bare on April 7, 1935 in Ironton, Ohio) is an American country music singer and songwriter.
In the fifties after many failed attempts to sell his songs, he finally was signed up with Capitol Records and recorded a few rock and roll songs without much chart success. Just before he was drafted into the Army, he wrote a song called 'The All American Boy' and did a demo for his friend, Bill Parsons, to learn and record it.

Detroit City chords
Bobby Bare 1963 (Danny Dill / Mel Tillis)
[Intro]
E
[Chorus]
E E7 A
I want to go home, I want to go home
E B7 E
Oh, how I want to go home
[Verse 1]
E B7 E
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit city
B7 E E7
And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home
A
I dreamed about my mother,
E
dear old papa, sister and brother,
F#
And I dreamed about that girl,
B7
whose been waitin' for so long
[Chorus]
E E7 A
I want to go home, I want to go home
E B7 E
Oh, how I want to go home
[Verse 2]
E B7 E
Home folks think I'm big in Detroit city
B7 E E7
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine
A
But by day I make the cars,
E
by night I make the bars
F# B7
If only they could read between the lines
[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
[Chorus]
E E7 A
I want to go home, I want to go home
E B7 E
Oh, how I want to go home
