ARCHIVE › C › CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL › LODI

Hello, everybody! I just wanted to tell you that this song changes scales towards the end. I tried to tab it out on the same fret but there is one missing chord that I haven't figured out yet (it's labeled with a "?"). If you know what the chord is, please feel free to correct it. Thanks!

!!!USE A CAPO ON THE THIRD FRET!!!

INTRO: G C G

G
Just about a year ago
   C              G
I set out on the road.
                      Em
Seekin' my fame and fortune,
Am                    D
Lookin' for a pot of gold.
G                   Em
Things got bad and things got worse,
    C                 G
I guess you know the tune
                D             C      G
Oh, Lord! I'm stuck in Lodi again.


G                                  C               G
Rode in on the greyhound, I'll be walkin' out if I go.
                     Em              Am             D
I was just passing through must be seven months or more.
G                    Em     C                        G
Ran out of time and money, looks like they took my friends.
                D             C      G
Oh, Lord! I'm stuck in Lodi again.


(Repeat INTRO chords 2x)


G                               C            G
The man from the magazine, said I was on my way.
                   Em         Am                   D
Somewhere I lost connections, ran out of songs to play,
   G                Em                C                         G
I came in to town a one night stand, looks like my plans fell though.
                D             C      G
Oh, Lord! I'm stuck in Lodi again.


(This is where it gets tricky. You play the following part on the same fret.)

GUITAR-CHANGING PART: D   A   E     A

A                            D           A
If I only had a dollar for every song I sung.
                 ?                    Bm               E
Every time I've had a to play while people sat there drunk.
     A                  ?
You know I'd catch the next train,
D                A
Back to where I live.
                E             D      A
Oh, Lord! I'm stuck in Lodi again.
                E             D      A
Oh, Lord! I'm stuck in Lodi again.

ENDING: A D A (Repeat and fade)
