[Intro 1]
[Am][C][Am][F][G][C][Am][F][G]

[Verse 1]
We [C]laid
around [Am]Dogtown a [F]summer [G]ago
[C]Good ol' man [Am]winter was
[F]fresh out [G]of snow
When the [C]leaves had left town
[Am]She foll[F]owed them out[G]
[Dm]Running from rural and [G]cold

[Verse 2]
I [C]told her I'd [Am]visit
If the [F]roads didn't [G]close
The [C]clouds opened [Am]up
And then [F]down came [G]the snow
And the [C]days turned [Am]to weeks
And the [F]weeks felt like [G]months
[Dm]Burning ol' memories
and [G]an thracite coal

[Verse 3]
And I [F]hung out in Dog[G]town
too [C]long once [Am]again
[F]Winter time [G]draws me back [C]in
All the [F]birds have flown [G]south
And the [C]gold's come [Am]and gone
And I [F]hung out in Dog[G]town
too [C]long[G][Am]
[G]Sometimes [C]I

[Verse 4]
[Am]wonder
why [F]I stick a[G]round
[C]Even the [Am]cathouse has
long [F]been torn [G]down
And [C]how many [Am]dog years
does a [F]man have [G]to kill
To [Dm]know there's no luck
or love [G]left in these hills
And I [F]hung out in Dog

[Verse 5]
[G]town too [C]long[Am]
[F]Setting like [G]warm solstice [C]sun
All the [F]gold's turned [G]to green
and [C]birds [Am]have flown home
And I [F]hung out in Dog[G]town too [C]long[Am][G]
[C][Am]

[Interlude 1]
[F][G][C][Am][F][G][C][Am][F]
[G][Dm][G]

[Verse 6]
A [C]face I remem[Am]ber from s[F]o long a[G]go
Re[C]turned with another
[Am]in love [F]I could see[G]
But [C]I'll show [Am]her one day 'cause
[F]I know [G]that someday
I'm [Dm]gonna make somethin' of [G]me

[Verse 7]
So [F]I'm leaving [G]Dogtown
[C]at dawn[Am]
[F]Seeking my [G]fortune and [C]fame
Cause my [F]heart has grown [G]cold
From a [C]love come and [Am]gone
As I [F]hung out in Dog[G]town too [Dm]long
[F][G]
