Tone: [G]
[G] Happiness hit her like a train on a tr[Am]track[Em]ack...
[G] Coming towards her, stuck still no turning b[Am]back[Em]ack...
[G] She hid around corners and she hid under beds
[G] She killed it with kis[Am]kisses and f[Em]from it she fled
With [G]every bubble she sank with her drink
And wa[G]washed it aw[Am]away down the [Em]kitchen sink
Chorus:
The [G]dog days are over
The [G]dog days are done
The [G]horses are [Am]coming
So [Em]you better run
Run [G]fast for your mother, run fast for your father
[G]Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
[G]Leave all your loving, your lo[Am]loving behind
You cant [Em]carry it with you if you want to survive
The [G]dog days are over
The [G]dog days are done
[G]Can you hear the hor[Am]horses?
'Cause [Em]here they come [G]
- silence -
- play quiet -
And [G]I [G]never wanted [G]anything [Am]from you[Em]you
Except [G]everythin[G]everything you had and [G]
what was left [Am]after that [Em]too, oh
- loud again -
[G]Happiness hit her[G]her like a bullet in the [G]hea[Am]d..[Em]...
[G] Struck from a great height[G]height by someone
who [G]should know bet[Am]ter than t[Em]hat
The [G]dog days are over
The [G]dog days are done
[G]Can you hear the hor[Am]horses?
'Cause [Em]here they come [G]
- Percussion Interlude -
Run [G]fast for your mother, run fast for your father
[G]Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
[G]Leave all your loving, your [Am]loving behind
You cant [Em]carry it with you if you want to survive
The [G]dog days are over
The [G]dog days are done
[G]Can you hear the hor[Am]horses?
'Cause [Em]here they come
The [G]dog days are over
The [G]dog days are done
[G]The horses are co[Am]coming
So [Em]you better run
[G]
