Intro: Bb  F  Eb

Bb                                   Eb                     Bb
Just about a year ago, I set out on the road
Bb               Bb/A        Gm        Gm/F       Eb                            F
Seekin' my fame and fortune,        and looking for a pot of gold
Bb               Bb/A   Gm             Gm/F        Eb                              Bb
Things got bad,     things got worse,   I guess you know the tune
Bb             F                     Eb            Bb
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again

I rode in on a greyhound, I'll be walking out if I go
I was just passing through, must be seven months or more
Ran out of time and money,     looks like they took my friends
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again

Bb  Eb  Bb  /  Bb  F  Eb  Bb  (instrumental)

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

F  C  G  C  (interlude)

C                                         F                 C
If I only had a dollar, for every song I sung
C        C/B     Am      Am/G          F                        G
Every time I had to play, while people sat there drunk
         C            C/B                    Am   Am/G   F                        C
You know I'd catch the next train,              back to where I live
C              G                      F              
  Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again
  Oh Lord, stuck in a Lodi again

C  F  C  /  C  G  F  C
