   C           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 


Chorus 1:
       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
