C
 Just about a year ago
F                C
I set out on the road
                   Am                   
seekin' my fame and fortune,
F                    G
lookin' for a pot of gold.
C              Am
Things got bad and things got worse,
F                        C
I guess you will know the tune -
         G               F         C
Oh Lord, stuck in on Lodi up again

I rode in on a Greyhound,
     F                   C
I'll be walkin' out if I go
                  Am
I was just passin' through
F                      G
Must be seven months or more
C                  Am
Ran out of time and money
F                       C 
Looks like they took my friends
          G               F         C
Oh, Lord, stuck in on Lodi up again

The man from the magazine
F               C
Said I was on my way
                 Am
Somewhere I lost connection
F                   G
Ran out of songs to play
C                     Am
I came into town on a one-night stand
F                        G
Looks like my plans fell through
    G                   F      C
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi up again

If I only had a dollar
F                  C 
For every song I've sung
                    Am
And every time I've had to play
F                      G
While people sat there drunk
C                      Am
You know I'd catch the next train
F               C
Back to where I live
          G                F        C
Oh, Lord, stuck in on Lodi up again
          G                F        C
Oh, Lord, Stuck in on Lodi up again
