G                                 Em  Am  Em
Happiness hit her like a train on a traa-aaa-ack
   G                                       Em  Am Em
Coming towards her stuck still no turning baaa-aaa-ack
   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 a 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       Em
The horses are coming so you'd better run
   G
Run fast for your mother, fast for your father
   G    
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
   G                           Am 
Leave all your love and your longing behind, 
   Em
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive
   G
The dog days are over
   G
The dog days are done
   G             Am       Em 
The horses are coming so you'd better run
   G
And I never wanted anything from you
   G                           Em             Am        Em 
Except everything you had and what was left after that too, oh.
   G                                    Em  Am  Em
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the baa-aaa-a-a-ack
   G
Struck from a great height
   G             Em         Am          Em
By someone who should know better than that
   G
The dog days are over 
   G
The Dog days are done
   G             Am        Em          Am   C    G
The horses are coming so you'd better ru-uuu-un
