A#                       D#              A#
Just about a year ago, I set out on the road,
                   Gm       D#                   F
Seekin my fame and fortune, lookin for a pot of gold
A#                   Gm
Things got bad, and things got worse,
   D#                       A#
I guess you will know the tune.
A#           F             D# A#
Oh ! lord, stuck in Lodi again.

Rode in on the Greyhound
I'll be walkin' out if I go
I was just passin' through
Must be seven months or more
Ran out of time and money
Looks like they took my friend
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again

The man from the magazine
Said I was on my way
Somewhere I lost connections
I ran out of songs to play
I came into town a one night stand
Looks like my plans fell through
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again

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