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