G Am C D
Happiness hit her like a train on a track
G Am C D
Coming towards her stuck still no turning back
G
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
Am C D
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
G
With every bubble she sank with her drink
Am C D
And washed it away down the kitchen sink
G
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Am
The horses are coming
C D
So you better run
G
Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Am
Leave all your loving, your loving behind
C D
You cant carry it with you if you want to survive
G
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Am
Can you hear the horses?
C D
'Cause here they come
G Am C D
And i never wanted anything from you
G Am C D
Except everything you had and what was left after that too, oh
G Am C D
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the head
G Am C D
Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come
Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your loving, your loving behind
You cant carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run

I think it should go Am Eb D instead of Eb C D at the end of the verse lines.

About this song: Dog Days Are Over
According to the Dog Days Are Over Songfacts, this paean to the inevitability of happiness was inspired by a giant text installation titled "Dog Days Are Over" by artist Ugo Rondinone, which Florence used to see every day riding her bike over Waterloo Bridge.
