G                                       Am Em 
Happiness hit her like a train on a track 
G                                             Am Em 
Coming towards her stuck still no turning back 
G 
She hid around corners and she hid under beds 
G                       Am       Em 
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled 
     G 
With every bubble she sank with her drink 
      G         Am          Em 
And washed it away down the kitchen sink 


    G 
The dog days are over 
    G 
The dog days are done 
    G          Am 
The horses are coming 
   Em 
So you better run 

    G 
Run fast for your mother run fast for your father 
G 
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers 
G                             Am 
Leave all your loving your loving behind 
         Em 
You cant carry it with you if you want to survive 


    G 
The dog days are over 
    G 
The dog days are done 
G                   Am 
Can you hear the horses 
       Em              G 
Cause here they come 

(silence) 

    G G            G        Am      Em 
And I never wanted anything from you 
       G        G             G             Am         Em 
Except everything you had and what was left after that too oh 

loud again 
G                G                     G  Am Em 
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the head 
G                          G               G              Am        Em 
Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that 

    G 
The dog days are over 
    G 
The dog days are done 
G                   Am 
Can you hear the horses 
       Em             G 
Cause here they come 

(Percussion interlude) 

    G 
Run fast for your mother run fast for your father 
G 
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers 
G                           Am 
Leave all your loving your loving behind 
         Em 
You cant carry it with you if you want to survive 

    G 
The dog days are over 
    G 
The dog days are done 
G                   Am 
Can you hear the horses 
       Em 
Cause here they come 

    G 
The dog days are over 
    G 
The dog days are done 
G                Am 
The horses are coming 
   Em 
So you better run 

G
