Capo: 7 Tuning: E A D G B E
This is the way Mike played it at his live shows. It's my first tab. And I think it's extremely important for anyone, especially from Michigan, to know this powerful song. Cheers. Capo 7 [Verse 1]
I’m a wrEiter and a lover I’m a MiBdwest music man And I’ve bAeen to a lot of places But I’m gon’ eEnd where I began I took clEass in Carolina GBot high smoking joints And now they kAnow my name in Paris But I’ll be buEried in Detroit
[Chorus]
Next to my fEather, and my faBther’s father too I used to lAive in New York City But baby, that aEin’t no substitute Not for my homEetown That plBace people avoid I’ve made loAve in every city But I’ll be bEuried in Detroit
[Verse 2]
I don’t clEaim to be a prophet BI just speak my mind I tAry to tell it like it is And sometimes GEod makes it rhyme I like my soEngs how I like my women HoBnest and to the point You see I gAot fucked up in Stockholm But I’ll be bEuried in Detroit
[Chorus]
Next to my fEather, and my faBther’s father too I used to lAive in New York City But baby, that aEin’t no substitute Not for my homEetown That plBace people avoid I’ve made loAve in every city But I’ll be bEuried in Detroit
