Em Oh, Out in the woods not long ago, outside a town ten miles or so Bm D A Man and wife and two small babies, camping in a glade Em On an Indian Summer getaway, a weekend full of rest and play Bm D A Tuckered out from their full day, now sitting 'round a fire
Am Em But lurking in the shadows was a demon, with a big 'ol set of eyes Am Em And an appetite for souls, like these, feeding time tonight Bm Fm They never heard it coming, they never saw it coming A They were never seen or heard from again
Chorus 1
Em D The Hidey-Hinder, through the gates of Hades Fm A Overcame Daddy, and took the mama and babies Em D The Hidey-Hinder done took 'em good Fm Em Back to its lair, deep in Dagger Woods
Em D
Verse 2
Em Well, The tale begins hundred years, through the countless days and hours Bm D A When the golden plow first broke the land, folks started disappearing Em The locals swear beyond a doubt, it came over on the first rowboat Bm D A The bloodthirsty monster, they call the Hidey-Hinder [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/t/the-stanfields/285213.html ] Am Em An old world apparition hitched a ride, to the new world in disguise Am Em Supernatural baggage in the hold, from a hard life left behind Bm Fm If they knew what they was bringin', I sure would not be singin' A 'Bout people never seen or heard again
Chorus 2
Em D The Hidey-Hinder, from the old world nations Fm A You've reigned in terror, for seven generations Em D Oh Hidey-Hinder, I wish I could Fm Em Prove you exist, deep in Dagger Woods
(solo) Em D Fm A Em D Fm Em Em D Em (several times)
Verse 3
Em Now let's go back to the present day, to a prison far the other way Bm D A To a broken lonely man, that lonely man is me Em I told the judge what I’m telling you, said "such a thing cannot be true" Bm D A He locked me up for murder, and threw away the key
Am Em He said the only monster that he's seen, sits right before his eyes Am He stared me down, Shook his head, and condemned me Em As a sick man telling lies Bm Fm I shoulda seen it comin', shoulda known that it was comin' A Now I’ll never see the light of day again
Chorus 3
Em D Oh Hidey-Hinder, of the million maybes Fm A I know to be true, my Jilly and my babies Em D Oh Hidey-Hinder ya done took 'em good Fm Em Away from me, deep in Dagger Woods
D Em No, That’s where I should be, in Dagger Woods D Em Hanging from a tree, in Dagger Woods D Em For all the world to see, in Dagger Woo
