DOG DAYS ARE OVER – GUITAR

[Intro]
[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 a 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)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Hook]

G
The dog days are over
G
The dog days are done
G Am
The horses are coming
Em
So you better run

[Chorus]

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 love and your longing behind
Em
You can't 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)

[Bridge]

(quiet)

G G G Am Em
And I never wanted anything from you
G G G Am Em
Except for 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 back.....
G G G Am Em
Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that

[Hook]

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)

[Chorus]

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 love and your longing behind
Em
You can't 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

[Outro]

G
The dog days are over
G
The dog days are done
G Am
The horses are coming
Em
So you better run

G
The dog days are over
G
The dog days are done
G Am
The horses are coming
Em
So you better run
