# If you'd rather strum:

[Verse 1]
G chordG Am chordAm Em chordEm
Happiness hit her like a train on a track
G chordG Am chordAm Em chordEm
Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back
G chordG
She hid around corners, and she hid under beds
G chordG Am chordAm Em chordEm
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
G chordG
With every bubble, she sank with her drink
G chordG Am chordAm Em chordEm
And washed it away down the kitchen sink

[Chorus]

# pt. 1

G chordG
The dog days are over, the dog days are done
G chordG Am chordAm Em chordEm
The horses are coming, so you better run

# pt. 2
G chordG
Run fast for your mother run fast for your father
G chordG
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
G chordG Am chordAm
Leave all your love and your longing behind
Em chordEm
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive

# (pt. 1 alt.)
G chordG
The dog days are over, the dog days are done
G chordG Am chordAm Em chordEm
Can you hear the horses, cause here they come

[Bridge]
G chordG G chordG G chordG Am chordAm Em chordEm
And I never wanted anything from you
G chordG G chordG
Except everything you had
G chordG Am chordAm Em chordEm
And what was left after that too, oh

[Verse 2]
G chordG G chordG Am chordAm Em chordEm
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back
G chordG
Struck from a great height
G chordG Am chordAm Em chordEm
By someone who should've known better than that
G chordG
The dog days are over
G chordG
The dog days are done
G chordG Am chordAm Em chordEm
Can you hear the horses cause here they come

[Instrumental] x2

[Chorus]
G chordG
Run fast for your mother run fast for your father
G chordG
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
G chordG Am chordAm
Leave all your love and your longing behind
Em chordEm
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive
G chordG
The dog days are over, the dog days are done
G chordG Am chordAm Em chordEm
Can you hear the horses, cause here they come

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.
