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