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