Intro:  / G - - - / - - - - / D - C - / G - - - /

 

G (2)                             C                   G

Just about a year ago  I set out on the road

  G                             Em              C                          D

Seekin' my fame and fortune  And looking for a pot of gold

    G                     Em                      C                            G

Things got bad,  Things got worse  I Guess you know the tune

  G            D                 C     G     

Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again  

 

    G (2)                                       C                   G

I rode in on a Greyhound  I'll be walking out if I go

G                             Em                  C                          D

I was just passing through  Must be seven months or more

G                              Em      C                                 G

Ran out of time and money  Looks like they took my friends

G              D                  C     G

Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again

        G (2)                             C                        G

The man from the magazine  Said I was on my way

 G                             Em        C                           D

Somewhere I lost connection  Ran out of songs to play

 G                            Em                     C                                  G

Came into town on a one night stand  Looks like my plans fell through

G              D                  C     G

Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again

A                                  D                  A

If I only had a dollar  For every song I sung

        A                 F#m                   D                       E

And everytime I had to play  While people sat there drunk

          A                        F#m         D                   A

You know I'd catch the next train  Back to where I live

  A           E                    D   A           

Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again         

  A            E                   D   A           

Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again
