| Just about a year ago |
| Eb | Bb | |
| I | set out on the | road |
| Bb/A | Gm | Gm/F | |
| Seekin' my | fame and | fortune |
| Eb | F | |
| And | lookin' for a pot of | gold |
| Bb | Bb/A | Gm | Gm/F | |
| Things got | bad, and | things got | worse |
| Eb | Bb | |
| I | guess you know the | tune |
| F | Eb | Bb | |
| Oh, Lord, | stuck in Lodi a | gain |
| I rode in on a Greyhound, |
| I'll be walkin' out if I go |
| I was just passin' 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 |

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

| If I only had a dollar |
| F | C | |
| For | every song I've | sung |
| C/B | Am | Am/G | |
| And every | time I've | had to | play |
| F | G | |
| While | people sat there | drunk |
| C | C/B | Am | |
| You know I'd | catch the | next train |
| F | C | |
| Back to where I | live |
