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:
Happiness hit her like a train on a track...
Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back...
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with her drink
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 (-02210) or (577555 barre chord)
Em (022000)

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run
Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your loving, your loving behind
You cant carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come
(silence)
(quiet)
And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had and what was left after that too, oh
(loud again)
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the head.....
Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come
(Percussion interlude)
Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your loving, your loving behind
You cant carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run
