I absolutely adore this band, only just got into them a few days ago and
been listened to the album constantly :). The song isn't exactly what you'd
call "Guitar-friendly," so try not to be too disappointed if it doesn't
sound a lot like the original.

played once without vocals, then:
[Verse]
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
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
From here I would use open chords or preferably barre chords
G (320033 or 320003) or (355433 barre chord)
Am (x02210) or (577555 barre chord)
Em (022000)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Chorus]
G
The dog days are over
G
The dog days are done
G Am
The horses are coming
Em
So you better run
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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)
[Verse]
(quiet)
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
[Chorus]
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)
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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
[End]
G
