Intro: D x5, Em x1, Bm x2


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


    D
The dog days are over
    D
The dog days are done
    D          Em
The horses are coming
   Bm
So you better run

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


    D
The dog days are over
    D
The dog days are done
D                   Em
Can you hear the horses?
       Bm              D
'Cause here they come 

(silence)

(quiet)
    D D            D        Em      Bm
And I never wanted anything from you
       D        D             D             Em         Bm
Except everything you had and what was left after that too, oh

(loud again)
D                D                     D  Em C Bm
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the head.....
D                          D               D           Em   C      Bm
 Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that

    D
The dog days are over
    D
The dog days are done
D                   Em
Can you hear the horses?
       Bm             D
'Cause here they come

(Percussion interlude)

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

    D
The dog days are over
    D
The dog days are done
D                   Em
Can you hear the horses?
       Bm
'Cause here they come

    D
The dog days are over
    D
The dog days are done
D                Em
The horses are coming
   Bm
So you better run
