Gm            F
Howdy, friend, beggin' your pardon,
C                           G
Is there somethin' on your mind?
Gm                  F
You've gone and sold all your belongings,
C                          G
Is that something in your eye?

Chorus:
         Bm              Bm/A
Well, I know you really never
           G               C/G
Liked the way it all goes down;
Bm      D     G
Go on, hide away.

What's that you say?
We're all bound for the graveyard
Oooh, I wish you well
Think it's going to rain
Oh, what's the difference
Is there some way I can help?

Chorus:
Because you know, I'm going to miss you
When you're gone, oh, Lord
Wish I Could Hideaway

C    D   Em        D       A/C#
Hold on, give yourself a chance,
C                        G
I can hear the leavin' train.

All aboard! Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!
Oooh, I wish you well
See you soon, maybe tomorrow
You can never tell

Chorus:
Because you know, I'm going to miss you
When you're gone, oh
Wish I could Hideaway

       C/G        G         C/G         G
Hide away, hide away, hide away, hide away,
       C/G        G         C/G         G
hide away, hide away, hide away, hide away..
