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:
[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
G
