the intro and solos, so I'm hoping someone else can chime in here.
Capo 3
Intro
Sorry, I haven't figured this out yet, maybe someone can be kind 
enough to tab it out.
Verse 1
Oh, EmOut in the woods not long ago, outside a town ten miles or so
BmMan and wife and two small babies, Dcamping in a Aglade
EmOn an Indian Summer getaway, a weekend full of rest and play
BmTuckered out from their full day, now Dsitting 'round a Afire
AmBut lurking in the shadows was a demon, with a big 'ol set of Emeyes
And an Amappetite for souls, like these, feeding time tEmonight  
They Bmnever heard it coming, they F#mnever saw it coming
They were never seen or heard from Aagain
Chorus 1
The HideyEm-Hinder, through the gates of DHades
Overcame F#mDaddy, and took the mama and Ababies
The Hidey-EmHinder done took 'em Dgood
Back to its F#mlair, deep in Dagger EmWoods
Em  D
Verse 2
Well, The Emtale begins hundred years, through the countless days and hours
When the Bmgolden plow first broke the land, Dfolks started disAappearing
The Emlocals swear beyond a doubt, it came over on the first rowboat
The Bmbloodthirsty monster, they Dcall the Hidey-AHinder
An Amold world apparition hitched a ride, to the new world in disEmguise
AmSupernatural baggage in the hold, from a hard life left beEmhind
BmIf they knew what they was bringin', I F#msure would not be singin'
'Bout people never seen or heard aAgain
Chorus 2
The Hidey-EmHinder, from the old world Dnations
You've reigned in F#mterror, for seven generaAtions
Oh Hidey-EmHinder, I wish I Dcould
Prove you F#mexist, deep in Dagger EmWoods

Verse 3
Now Emlet's go back to the present day, to a prison far the other way
To a Bmbroken lonely man, that Dlonely man is Ame
I Emtold the judge what I’m telling you, said "such a thing cannot be true"
He Bmlocked me up for murder, and Dthrew away the Akey
AmHe said the only monster that he's seen, sits right before his Emeyes
He sAmtared me down, Shook his head, and condemned me 
As a sick  man telling Emlies
I sBmhoulda seen it comin', shoulda F#mknown that it was comin'
Now I’ll never see the light of day aAgain

On an Indian Summer getaway, a weekend full of rest and play

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

They never heard it coming, they never saw it coming

They were never seen or heard from again

The locals swear beyond a doubt, it came over on the first rowboat

The bloodthirsty monster, they call the Hidey-Hinder

Am Em

An old world apparition hitched a ride, to the new world in disguise

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
