Am        F       G  
We laid around Dogtown a summer ago 
C            Am         F            G  
Good ol' man winter was fresh out of snow 
         C               Am        F             G  
When the leaves had left town, she followed them out 
Dm                     G  
Running from rural and cold  
 
I told her I'd visit if the roads didn't close 

The clouds opened up and then down came the snow  

And the days turned to weeks and the weeks felt like months 

Burning ol' memories and anthracite coal  

Refr?o -------------
       F          G           C          Am  
And I hung out in Dogtown too long once again 
F           G             C  
Winter time draws me back in 
        F                G             C               Am  
All the birds have flown south and the gold's come and gone 
      F           G           C 
And I hung out in Dogtown too long
--------------------
  
 
 
Sometimes I wonder why I stick around 
Even the cathouse has long been torn down 
And how many dog years does a man have to kill 
To know there's no luck or love left in these hills  
 
Chorus 2: 
And I hung out in Dogtown too long 
Setting like warm solstice sun  
All the gold's turned to green and birds have flown home 
And I hung out in Dogtown too long

Guitar 
 
 
A face I remember from so long ago 
Returned with another in love I could see 
But I'll show her one day 'cause I know that someday 
I'm gonna make somethin' of me 
 
Chorus 3: 
So I'm leaving Dogtown at dawn 
Seeking my fortune and fame 
Cause my heart has grown cold from a love come and gone 
As I hung out in Dogtown too long
