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