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

About this song: The 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.
