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

Oh, [Em]Out in the woods not long ago, outside a town ten miles or so
[Bm]Man and wife and two small babies, [D]camping in a [A]glade
[Em]On an Indian Summer getaway, a weekend full of rest and play
[Bm]Tuckered out from their full day, now [D]sitting 'round a [A]fire

[Am]But lurking in the shadows was a demon, with a big 'ol set of [Em]eyes
And an [Am]appetite for souls, like these, feeding time t[Em]onight
They [Bm]never heard it coming, they [F#m]never saw it coming
They were never seen or heard from [A]again

The Hidey[Em]-Hinder, through the gates of[D] Hades
Overcame [F#m]Daddy, and took the mama and [A]babies
The Hidey-[Em]Hinder done took 'em [D]good
Back to its [F#m]lair, deep in Dagger [Em]Woods

[Em]  [D]

Well, The [Em]tale begins hundred years, through the countless days and hours
When the [Bm]golden plow first broke the land, [D]folks started dis[A]appearing
The [Em]locals swear beyond a doubt, it came over on the first rowboat
The [Bm]bloodthirsty monster, they [D]call the Hidey-[A]Hinder

An [Am]old world apparition hitched a ride, to the new world in dis[Em]guise

'Bout people never seen or heard a[A]gain

The Hidey-[Em]Hinder, from the old world [D]nations
