----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I absolutely adore this band, only just got into them a few days ago and been listened to the album constantly :). The song isn't exactly what you'd call "Guitar-friendly," so try not to be too disappointed if it doesn't sound a lot like the original. (standard tuning-EADGBe) Intro (G maj.)

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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- From here I would use open chords or preferably barre chords G (320033 or 320003) or (355433 barre chord) Am (-02210) or (577555 barre chord) Em (022000) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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) (quiet) 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That last bit was a little sketchy, went a bit hectic D=.
