[Verso 1]
 
                         F              C 
Just about a year ago, I set out on the road 
                    Am         F                    G 
Seeking my fame and fortune, a-looking for a pot of gold 
C                   Am                  F                  C 
Things got bad, and things got worse, I guess you know the tune 
             G             F       C 
Oh lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again 


[Verso 2]
 
                                   F                C 
Rode in on a Greyhound and I'll be walking out if I go 
           G/B     Am                  F               G 
I was just passing through, it must be seven months or more 
  C          G/B      Am           F                 C 
I ran out of time and money, looks like they took my friends 
             G             F       C 
Oh lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again 

Instrumental: C   G   F   C

                               F           C 
The man from the magazine said I was on my way 
                G/B     Am            F               G 
But somewhere I lost connections, ran out of songs to play 
  C         G/B     Am               F                        C 
I came into town, a one-night stand, looks like my plans fell through 
             G             F       C 
Oh lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again

[Verso 4]
 
                           F               C 
If I only had a dollar for every song I've sung 
                 G/B    Am          F                     G 
And every time I had to play, while people just sat there drunk 
    C         G/B       Am                F                 C 
You know, I'd catch the next train, right back to where I'm from 
             G             F  D 
Oh lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again 
C            G             F       C 
Oh lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
