Tonalidad: B minor
Verse 1
Bm
E
It was down at the corner cafe
that we first were introduced
F#m
By a mutual acquaintance
C#
who was known to be bad news
F#m
I said to him, good evening,
Bm
E
he gave to me his name
F#m
I asked him what it was he did,
C#
he asked of me the same
F#m
E
Then he whispered as he shook my hand
Bm
I'm a man misunderstood,
F#m
Bm
you understand
E
Bm
We stepped out into the courtyard
E
where he offered me a smoke
F#m
I'll admit I was impressed
C#
at how he eloquently spoke
F#m
He said he knew someone
who knew someone
Bm
E
who had some cards to play
F#m
If the proper time and place
were chosen,
C#
money might be made
F#m
E
It's then I realized he had a plan
Bm
F#m
That man misunderstood,
E
Bm
E
you understand
Bm
Well the night was like a blanket
E
And the moon was like a bone
F#m
in the feeble light
It seemed just like his face
C#
was cut from stone
F#m
I couldn't hide my curiosity
Bm
I needed to know
E
Bm
F#m
Ex actly what he planned to do
C#
And how I was involved
He said, follow me
F#m
Bm
E
Keep up if you can't
Bm
F#m
I'm a man misunderstood,
Bm
you understand
We went walking over Bluestone,
E
behind the busy street
F#m
Where the city slickers
Bm
D
C#
stumbled to a syncopated beat
F#m
A thick unyielding tempo
Bm
E
that shook them like a dole
Bm
F#m
And sent them reeling
through the evening
C#
Looking for someone to hold
until the morning
F#m
When they'd wake
E
and wash their hands
Bm
Of the man misunderstood,
F#m
Bm
you understand
E
He said this world of ours is wayward
Bm
E
It's a dirty rotten mess,
F#m
oh but you and I are different
C#
We're better than the rest
F#m
He told me if we took the high road
Bm
We'd rise above it all
F#m
Looking back I'd say his flattery
C#
He was all that made me fall,
F#m
forgiving everything, everything I had
E
Bm
To the man misunderstood,
F#m
Bm
D
E
D
you understand
E
Bm
E
We wasted no time waiting,
Bm
E
we had reason to believe
Bm
F#m
The people needed saving,
C#
and their saviour was me
F#m
So we hit the road that evening,
Bm
E
headed north along the hewn
F#m
Towards a bigger town
than ours
C#
where people lived amongst the tombs
F#m
Built by progress and barren land
E
Bm
Me and that man misunderstood,
E
Bm
do you understand?
E
We walked the city
Bm
E
preaching on deaf ears and blanket eyes
F#m
He told me not to worry
E
C#
that our star was on the rise
F#m
Still I could n't help but notice
Bm
E
he was looking less than well
Bm
F#m
And though that thought set off alarm bells
C#
F#m
I still man aged to dispel it from my mind
E
And take my stand beside
that man
Bm
E
Bm
Misunderstood, you understand
Then the days had turned to months
And the weeks had turned to years
E
F#m
And all the rhetoric he
spoke so well
C#
Could not allay my fears
F#m
Bm
That maybe after taking from me
E
all that I had given
F#m
This man was just as lost as I
C#
And if I could escape him
F#m
I'd celebrate every difference I had
E
Bm
To the man misunderstood,
A
Bm
E
Bm
you understand
Yes, I had made my mind up
E
And in a hotel bar that evening
F#m
Over one last glass of Carlton draught
C#
I told him I was leaving
F#m
He said that I was foolish
Bm
E
We were closer now than brothers
F#m
We started in the shouting,
E
C#
then we turned upon each other
F#m
E
And he fell there, by my own hand
Bm
That man misunderstood,
A
Bm
you understand
Well it's been years now
since the day I left
E
That man misunderstood
F#m
Believing he and his philosophy
C#
were never any good
F#m
I walked alone amongst the bones
Bm
E
of my own misspent life
F#m
Until I began to wonder
C#
if the man might have been right
F#m
E
And I was wrong on the day I ran
Bm
From the man misunderstood,
A
Bm
you understand
And so this evening when I saw you
E
It seemed like a twist of fate
F#m
Bm
And I thought perhaps with ample luck
F#m
C#
I might just set this straight
G
F#m
You had that hungry burning arrogance
E
That youthful glow of health
F#m
Bm
That re minded me confrontingly
C#
of my much younger self
F#m
E
So I told you as I shook your hand
Bm
I'm a man misunderstood,
A
you understand
Bm
Yes, I'm a man misunderstood,
A
Bm
you understand
Oh, I'm a man misunderstood,
A
Bm
F#m
you understand
