Just about a year ago, I set out on the road
                    Am         F                    G
Seeking my fame and fortune, a-looking for a pot of gold
C                   Am                  F                  C
Things got bad, and things got worse, I guess you know the tune
             G             F       C
Oh lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again

[Verse]
                                   F                C
Rode in on a Greyhound and I'll be walking out if I go
           G/B     Am                  F               G
I was just passing through, it must be seven months or more
  C          G/B      Am           F                 C
I ran out of time and money, looks like they took my friends
             G             F       C
Oh lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again

The man from the magazine said I was on my way
                G/B     Am            F               G
But somewhere I lost connections, ran out of songs to play
  C         G/B     Am               F                        C
I came into town, a one-night stand, looks like my plans fell through
             G             F       C
Oh lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again

If I only had a dollar for every song I've sung
                 G/B    Am          F                     G
And every time I had to play, while people just sat there drunk
    C         G/B       Am                F                 C
You know, I'd catch the next train, right back to where I'm from
             G             F  D
Oh lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
C            G             F       C
Oh lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
