[Verse 1]
[Bb] [Eb] [Bb]
Just about a year ago, I set out on the road,
[F] [Gm] [Eb] [F]
Seekin' my fame and fortune, lookin' for a pot of gold.
[Bb] [F] [Gm] [Eb] [Bb]
Things got bad, and things got worse, I guess you will know the tune.
[F] [Eb] [Bb]
Oh! Lord, stuck in Lodi again.
[Verse 2]
[Bb] [Eb] [Bb]
Rode in on the Greyhound, I'll be walkin' out if I go.
[F] [Gm] [Eb] [F]
I was just passin' through, must be seven months or more.
[Bb] [F] [Gm] [Eb] [Bb]
Ran out of time and money, looks like they took my friends.
[F] [Eb] [Bb]
Oh! Lord, stuck in Lodi again.

[Verse 3]
[Bb] [Eb] [Bb]
The man from the magazine said I was on my way.
[F] [Gm] [Eb] [F]
Somewhere I lost connections, ran out of songs to play.
[Bb] [F] [Gm] [Eb] [Bb]
I came into town, a one night stand, looks like my plans fell through
[F] [Eb] [Bb]
Oh! Lord, stuck in Lodi again.

[Verse 4]
[C] [F] [C]
If I only had a dollar, for ev'ry song I've sung
[G] [Am] [G] [F] [G]
Every time I've had to play while people sat there drunk.
[C] [G] [Am] [C] [F] [C]
You know, I'd catch the next train back to where I live.
[G] [F] [C]
Oh! Lord, stuck in Lodi again.
[G] [F] [C]
Oh! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.
