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.
