Verse 1:

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


Verse 2:

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


Chorus:

F           C              G
  Hide 'n' seekin is for children, baby
F           C       Em7
  Now it's hid and sought
F          C               G
  Another week and you'll see yours maybe
F                 C         Em
  They treat you like some kinda outlaw


Verse 3:

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


Chorus:

F          C               G
  Hide 'n' seekin is for children, baby
F           C       Em7
  Now it's hid and sought
F          C               G
  Another week and you'll see yours maybe
F                 C         Em
  They treat you like some kinda outlaw


Outro:

Am          F      D/F#          F      Am
  Hide 'n' seekin,     Hide 'n' seekin, pa
         F       D/F#          F      Am
 - - - (no words)
         F       D/F#          F      Am
Hide 'n' seekin,     Hide 'n' seekin, ma
Am         F    D/F#          F        Am
- - - (no words)
Am         F    D/F#             F       Am
                 ...this is the blues you see
Am           F    D/F#          F        Am
  Hide 'n' seekin ...
Am           F    D/F#          F        Am

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

It's also okay to experiment with a D7 over F sharp, if you like.
A simple structure like this lends itself to variations and experiments.

You can repeat the last chorus an extra time.
