Intro
Sorry, I haven't figured this out yet, maybe someone can be kind 
enough to tab it out.

Verse 1

    E5
Oh, Out in the woods not long ago, outside a town ten miles or so
B5                                 D5            A5
Man and wife and two small babies, camping in a glade
E5
On an Indian Summer getaway, a weekend full of rest and play
B5                                    D5                     A5
Tuckered out from their full day, now sitting 'round a fire

A5                                                            E5
But lurking in the shadows was a demon, with a big 'ol set of eyes
       A5                                            E5
And an appetite for souls, like these, feeding time tonight  
     B5                               F5
They never heard it coming, they never saw it coming
                                   A5
They were never seen or heard from again

Chorus 1

         E5                           D5
The Hidey-Hinder, through the gates of Hades
         F5                           A5
Overcame Daddy, and took the mama and babies
          E5                   D5
The Hidey-Hinder done took 'em good
            F5                       E5
Back to its lair, deep in Dagger Woods

E5  D5

Verse 2

          E5
Well, The tale begins hundred years, through the countless days and hours
         B5                                D5                A5
When the golden plow first broke the land, folks started disappearing
    E5                        
The locals swear beyond a doubt, it came over on the first rowboat
    B5                         D5              A5
The bloodthirsty monster, they call the Hidey-Hinder

   A5                                                          E5
An old world apparition hitched a ride, to the new world in disguise
A5                                                        E5
Supernatural baggage in the hold, from a hard life left behind
B5                                     F5
If they knew what they was bringin', I sure would not be singin'
                                  A5
'Bout people never seen or heard again

Chorus 2

          E5                         D5
The Hidey-Hinder, from the old world nations
                  F5                     A5
You've reigned in terror, for seven generations
         E5               D5
Oh Hidey-Hinder, I wish I could
          F5                    E5
Prove you exist, deep in Dagger Woods

Verse 3

    E5
Now let's go back to the present day, to a prison far the other way
     B5                      D5             A5
To a broken lonely man, that lonely man is me
  E5
I told the judge what I?m telling you, said "such a thing cannot be true"
   B5                           D5              A5
He locked me up for murder, and threw away the key

A5                                                             E5
He said the only monster that he's seen, sits right before his eyes
    A5
He stared me down, Shook his head, and condemned me 
                       E5
As a sick  man telling lies
   B5                             F5
I shoulda seen it comin', shoulda known that it was comin'
                                     A5
Now I?ll never see the light of day again

Chorus 3

         E5                     D5
Oh Hidey-Hinder, of the million maybes
             F5                    A5
I know to be true, my Jilly and my babies
         E5                      D5
Oh Hidey-Hinder ya done took 'em good
          F5                 E5
Away from me, deep in Dagger Woods

    D5                                   E5
No, That?s where I should be, in Dagger Woods
D5                              E5
Hanging from a tree, in Dagger Woods
    D5                               E5
For all the world to see, in Dagger Woods
D5                              E5
Back with my family, in Dagger Woods
