Dagger Woods - The Stanfields
This is my first submission to UG.com, so any suggestions welcome. I couldn't get
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
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: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_stanfields/dagger_woods_crd.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

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 Woods
D Em
Back with my family, in Dagger Woods
(solo)
