that we first were introduced
Bm
E
he gave to me his name
F#m

Then he whispered as he shook my hand
F#m
Bm
you understand
E
Bm
We stepped out into the courtyard
who knew someone
Bm
E
who had some cards to play
were chosen,
F#m
E
It's then I realized he had a plan
Bm
F#m
That man misunderstood,
E
Bm
E
you understand
It seemed just like his face
E
Bm
F#m
Ex actly what he planned to do
He said, follow me
F#m
Bm
E
Keep up if you can't
Bm
F#m
I'm a man misunderstood,
We went walking over Bluestone,
Bm
D
C#
stumbled to a syncopated beat
Bm
E
that shook them like a dole
Bm
F#m
And sent them reeling
through the evening
until the morning
F#m
Bm
you understand
Bm
E
It's a dirty rotten mess,

To the man misunderstood,

Bm
D
E
D
you understand
E
Bm
E
We wasted no time waiting,
Bm
E
we had reason to believe

F#m
The people needed saving,

headed north along the hewn
than ours
E
Bm
Me and that man misunderstood,
E
Bm
do you understand?
Bm

preaching on deaf ears and blanket eyes
E
C#
that our star was on the rise
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
that man
Bm
E
Bm
Misunderstood, you understand
Then the days had turned to months
And the weeks had turned to years
E

And all the rhetoric he
spoke so well
F#m
Bm
That maybe after taking from me
E
Bm
To the man misunderstood,
A
Bm

Yes, I had made my mind up
F#m
Over one last glass of Carlton draught
Bm

We were closer now than brothers

then we turned upon each other
F#m
E
And he fell there, by my own hand
A
Bm
you understand
Well it's been years now
since the day I left
Bm
E
of my own misspent life
F#m
E
And I was wrong on the day I ran
A
Bm
you understand
And so this evening when I saw you
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
F#m
Bm
That re minded me confrontingly
F#m
E
So I told you as I shook your hand
A
you understand
A
Bm
you understand
Oh, I'm a man misunderstood,
A
Bm
F#m
you understand
How did you like the song?
