Intro: F# C# B

Just about a year ago I set out on the road
Seekin’ my fame and fortune And looking for a pot of gold
Things got bad, Things got worse I Guess you know the tune
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
Came into town on a one night stand Looks like my plans fell through
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again

And I rode in on a grey hound I’ll be walking out if I go
I was just passing 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

If I only had a dollar For every song I sung
And everytime I had to play While people sat there drunk
You know I’d catch the next train Back to where I live
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again

Intro: C

Verse 1 chords:
Northbound 35, through the iron hills
Under infidel skies
It’s two hundred miles to drive, you won’t be home
I saw an elsebound train On the overpass
In the driving rain, every ticket costs the same
For where you can’t go

Chorus 1 chords:
Mustang horses, champagne glasses
Anything frail anything wild
It’s the price of living motion
What’s beautiful is broken
And grace is just the measure of a fall

Verse 2: (use verse 1 chords)
So I rolled into your town, I passed the smokestacks
And the ore docks down off of Main and the sky spun around
With her diamonds on fire
We fought all night and then we danced, in your kitchen
You were as much in my hands as water or darkness or nothing
Can ever be held

Chorus 2: (use chorus 1 chords)
Mustang horses, champagne glasses
Anything frail anything wild
It’s the price of living motion
What’s beautiful is broken
And grace is just the measure of a fall

Verse 3: (use verse 1 chords)
It’s just flashes that we own, little (Am)snapshots
Made of breath and of bone
And out on the darkling plain alone
They light up the sky
It’s 51 and driving south, ain’t it funny how things’ll turn out
I never even kissed you on the mouth when we said goodbye

Chorus 3: (use chorus 1 chords)
Mustang horses, champagne glasses
Anything frail anything wild
It’s the price of living motion
What’s beautiful is broken
And grace is just the measure of a fall

The snow falls on the passes

And it covers up the rails
And the hired men ride up to make them clean
It’s a winter camp and a frozen damp

And a shovel in your hand
And a coal train comes rumbling through the seam

That morning came up shining
Clear and sharp as broken glass
We were riding for the tracks at Sugaree
All holler and high spirit
And the devil take the last
And Henry lay a wager then to me

He said “I’ve got five dollars
And a whiskey at the bar
Says I make the tracks ahead of you”
So we touched our horses up
Sent them running down the hill
And I did something I never meant to do
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jeffrey_foucault/doubletree_crd.html )
Well I cut hard behind him
From his blind side I come around
Just as we were going down the scree
I only meant to scare him but he tumbled to the ground
And he broke his neck beneath the doubletree

So you take him cut him out in a length of pine
Lay him out in a suit of clothes
Best that you can find
Lay his body gentle in the ground
And say a prayer for Henry
Before you lay him down

The night before poor Henry died
We slept on open ground
The circus of the stars a blaze of white
Henry was the best friend that I ever had
And I slept still as a child that night
