Em
He take the thunder from the mountain
                  G
He take the lightning from the sky

He bring the strong man to his bended knee

He make the young girls mama cry

You got to hidey-hide

You got to jump and run

He got the voices speakin' riddles
                  G
He got the eye as black as coal
               A
He got a suitcase covered with rattlesnake hide
             Em
And he stand right in the road

You got to hidey-hide

You got to hidey hidey-hide
          C            D             Em

Put the shadow across the window
                 Em
When the old man comes around

You got to hidey-hide
                  G
You got to jump and run again

You got to hidey hidey-hide
         C             D             Em
The old man's down the road
