Intro: (G D C G)
G C G
Just about a year ago, I set out on the road,
G/F# Em Am D7
Seeking my fame and fortune, and looking for a pot of gold.
G G/F# Em C G
Things got bad, and things got worse, I guess you will know the tune.
C D G
Oh! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.
G C G
I rode in on the Greyhound, I'll be walking out if I go.
G/F# Em Am D7
I was just passing through, must be seven months or more.
G G/F# Em C G
I ran out of time and money, Oh! looks like they lost my friends.
C D G
Oh! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again. (Yes I am)
(Intro)
G C G
A man from the magazine, he said: Son, you're on the way.
G/F# Em Am D7
Somewhere I lost connections, ran out of songs to play.
G G/F# Em C G
I came into town, a one night stand, looks like my plans fell through
C D G A D E E7
Oh! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.
A D A
Now If I only had a dollar, for every song I've sung.
A/G# F#m Bm E
And every time I've had to play while people sat there drunk.
A A/G# F#m D A
You know, I'd catch the next train back to where I live.
D E A
Oh! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.
D E A
Oh! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.
