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