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