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