Verse 1:

A minorAm     FF D/F#D/F#     FF      A minorAm
  Is that you?   Peeking out from that hat
      FF  D/F#D/F#      FF        A minorAm
Hide 'n' seekin   behind a drink that's gone flat
     FF  D/F#D/F#      FF       A minorAm
Is that you?    Peeking out from your tree
      FF  D/F#D/F#     FF      G+G
Hide 'n' seekin   from everyone here but me


Verse 2:

A minorAm         FF   D/F#D/F#     FF      A minorAm
  Your hands are shaking   and I know what they did
      FF   D/F#D/F#       FF       A minorAm
Hide 'n' seekin,   they never found you as a kid
         FF   D/F#D/F#       FF     A minorAm
Your branch is breaking,  you'll find another downtown
      FF   D/F#D/F#     FF        G+G
Hide 'n' seekin,   coming crashing to the ground

Chorus:

FF      C majorC       G+G
 Hide 'n' seekin is for children, baby
FF      C majorC    E minor 7Em7
 Now it's hid and sought
FF     C majorC        G+G
 Another week and you'll see yours maybe
FF         C majorC     E minorEm
 They treat you like some kinda outlaw


Verse 3:

A minorAm         FF   D/F#D/F#       FF    A minorAm
  Black night is falling,   this is the blues you see
      FF   D/F#D/F#       FF  A minorAm
Hide 'n' seekin, Father, Son and holy me
       FF   D/F#D/F#         FF     A minorAm
You speak in parables,  you're looking terrible tonight
     FF     D/F#D/F#     FF   G+G
Hide 'n' seekin, I wonder if you need a light

Chorus:

FF     C majorC        G+G
 Hide 'n' seekin is for children, baby
FF      C majorC    E minor 7Em7
 Now it's hid and sought
FF     C majorC        G+G
 Another week and you'll see yours maybe
FF         C majorC     E minorEm
 They treat you like some kinda outlaw

 Hide 'n' seekin ...
A minorAm      FF  D/F#D/F#     FF    A minorAm

Notes:
The driving force in this song is the chromatic rising and falling bass:
from FF to FF sharp and back to F, which gives it a pulsating, haunting quality.
Experiment with occasionally playing the E MajorE as the bass note for the A augmentedA minor chord,
to emphasize the motion even more.

It's also okay to experiment with a D7D7 over FF sharp, if you like.
A augmentedA simple structure like this lends itself to variations and experiments.

You can repeat the last chorus an extra time.
