[C/G]Just about a year ago,
I [F]set out on the [C/G]road,
Seekin my [Gadd11/B]fame and [Am]fortune [Am/G],
[F]lookin for a pot of [G]gold.
[C/G]Things got [Gadd11/B]bad, and [Am]things got [Am/G]worse,
I [F]guess you will know the [C/G]tune.
Oh! lord, [G]stuck in Lodi [F]again [C/G]
[VERSE – 2]
[C/G]Rode in on the Greyhound,
I’ll be [F]walkin out if I [C/G]go.
I was just [Gadd11/B]passin [Am]through,
[Am/G]must be [F]seven months or [G]more.
[C/G]Ran out of [Gadd11/B]time and [Am]money [Am/G],
[F]looks like they took my [C/G]friends.
Oh! lord, I’m [G]stuck in Lodi [F]again [C/G]

[C/G]The man from the magazine

Somewhere I [Gadd11/B]lost [Am]connections,
[F]ran out of songs to [G]play.
[C/G]I came into [Gadd11/B]town, a [Am]one night [Am/G]stand,

[D]If I only had a dollar,
for [G]every song I’ve [D]sung.
