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

The dog days are over

The dog days are done

Can you hear the horses?

The dog days are over

The dog days are done

The horses are coming

So you better run
