[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 can't 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 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 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 can't 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
