 Verse:

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

 Verse:

  Bb                                Eb                    Bb
I boarded on the Greyhound, and I'm walkin' there, by the road.
                   Gm                  Eb              F
I was just passin' through, it must be seven months or more.
  Bb                  Gm        Eb                      Bb
I ran out of time and money, it looks like the two were friends.
             F              Eb                     Bb
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.

 Verse:

  Bb                       Eb               Bb
A man from a magazine, who said I was on my way.
                        Gm         Eb                  F
But somewhere I lost connection, I ran out of songs to play.
  Bb                    Gm                   Eb                       Bb
I planned many times of one-night stands, it looks like my plans fell through.
             F              Eb                     Bb
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.

 Verse:

Bb                           Eb              Bb            
  If I only had a dollar for every song I've sung.
                Gm                Eb                   F                       
Or every time I had to play while people slapped their tongue.
  Bb                  Gm          Eb              Bb
I know I'll catch the next train, back to where I live.
             F              Eb                     Bb
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.
