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