 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
   (320033 or 320003) or (355433 barre chord)
 (-02210) or (577555 barre chord)
 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
 That last bit was a little sketchy, went a bit hectic D=. Anyway that's it, feel
 free to comment and rate :-)
 yours truely,
