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