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