Tonart: B minor
Verse 1
C#m
F#
It was down at the corner cafe
that we first were introduced
G#m
By a mutual acquaintance
D#
who was known to be bad news
G#m
I said to him, good evening,
C#m
F#
he gave to me his name
G#m
I asked him what it was he did,
D#
he asked of me the same
G#m
F#
Then he whispered as he shook my hand
C#m
I'm a man misunderstood,
G#m
C#m
you understand
F#
C#m
We stepped out into the courtyard
F#
where he offered me a smoke
G#m
I'll admit I was impressed
D#
at how he eloquently spoke
G#m
He said he knew someone
who knew someone
C#m
F#
who had some cards to play
G#m
If the proper time and place
were chosen,
G#m
F#
It's then I realized he had a plan
C#m
G#m
That man misunderstood,
F#
C#m
F#
you understand
C#m
Well the night was like a blanket
F#
And the moon was like a bone
G#m
in the feeble light
It seemed just like his face
G#m
I couldn't hide my curiosity
F#
C#m
G#m
Ex actly what he planned to do
D#
And how I was involved
He said, follow me
G#m
C#m
F#
Keep up if you can't
C#m
G#m
I'm a man misunderstood,
We went walking over Bluestone,
F#
behind the busy street
G#m
Where the city slickers
C#m
E
D#
stumbled to a syncopated beat
G#m
A thick unyielding tempo
C#m
F#
that shook them like a dole
C#m
G#m
And sent them reeling
through the evening
D#
Looking for someone to hold
until the morning
F#
and wash their hands
C#m
Of the man misunderstood,
G#m
C#m
you understand
F#
He said this world of ours is wayward
C#m
F#
It's a dirty rotten mess,
G#m
oh but you and I are different
D#
We're better than the rest
G#m
He told me if we took the high road
C#m
We'd rise above it all
G#m
Looking back I'd say his flattery
D#
He was all that made me fall,
G#m
forgiving everything, everything I had
F#
C#m
To the man misunderstood,
G#m
C#m
E
F#
E
you understand
F#
C#m
F#
We wasted no time waiting,
C#m
F#
we had reason to believe
C#m
G#m
The people needed saving,
D#
and their saviour was me
G#m
So we hit the road that evening,
C#m
F#
headed north along the hewn
G#m
Towards a bigger town
than ours
D#
where people lived amongst the tombs
G#m
Built by progress and barren land
F#
C#m
Me and that man misunderstood,
F#
C#m
do you under stand?
C#m
F#
preaching on deaf ears and blanket eyes
G#m
He told me not to worry
F#
D#
that our star was on the rise
G#m
Still I could n't help but notice
C#m
F#
he was looking less than well
C#m
G#m
And though that thought set off alarm bells
D#
G#m
I still man aged to dispel it from my mind
F#
And take my stand beside
that man
C#m
F#
C#m
Misunderstood, you understand
Then the days had turned to months
And the weeks had turned to years
F#
G#m
And all the rhetoric he
spoke so well
D#
Could not allay my fears
G#m
C#m
That maybe after taking from me
F#
all that I had given
G#m
This man was just as lost as I
D#
And if I could escape him
G#m
I'd celebrate every difference I had
F#
C#m
To the man misunderstood,
B
C#m
F#
C#m
you understand
Yes, I had made my mind up
F#
And in a hotel bar that evening
G#m
Over one last glass of Carlton draught
D#
I told him I was leaving
G#m
He said that I was foolish
C#m
F#
We were closer now than brothers
G#m
We started in the shouting,
F#
D#
then we turned upon each other
G#m
F#
And he fell there, by my own hand
C#m
That man misunderstood,
B
C#m
you understand
Well it's been years now
since the day I left
F#
That man misunderstood
G#m
Believing he and his philosophy
G#m
I walked alone amongst the bones
C#m
F#
of my own misspent life
G#m
Until I began to wonder
D#
if the man might have been right
G#m
F#
And I was wrong on the day I ran
C#m
From the man misunderstood,
B
C#m
you understand
And so this evening when I saw you
F#
It seemed like a twist of fate
G#m
C#m
And I thought perhaps with ample luck
G#m
D#
I might just set this straight
A
G#m
You had that hungry burning arrogance
F#
That youthful glow of health
G#m
C#m
That re minded me confrontingly
D#
of my much younger self
G#m
F#
So I told you as I shook your hand
C#m
I'm a man misunderstood,
B
you understand
C#m
Yes, I'm a man misunderstood,
B
C#m
you understand
Oh, I'm a man misunderstood,
B
C#m
G#m
you understand
