Intro
Sorry, I haven't figured this out yet, maybe someone can be kind
enough to tab it out.
Verse 1
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
Chorus 1
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
Verse 2
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
Chorus 2
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)
Verse 3
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 Im 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 Ill never see the light of day again
Chorus 3
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, Thats 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
