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

It's a dirty rotten mess,
A
Em
To the man misunderstood,
Bm

A
Em
A
We wasted no time waiting,
Em
A
we had reason to believe
Em

The people needed saving,

headed north along the hewn
than ours
A

Me and that man misunderstood,
A
Em
do you understand?

that man
Em

Em
Misunderstood, you understand
Then the days had turned to months
And the weeks had turned to years

And he fell there, by my own hand
D

Well it's been years now
since the day I left
Em

of my own misspent life
Bm

And I was wrong on the day I ran
D

And so this evening when I saw you
Bm
Em
And I thought perhaps with ample luck
Bm
F#
I might just set this straight
C
Bm
You had that hungry burning arrogance
Bm
Em
That re minded me confrontingly
Bm
A
So I told you as I shook your hand
D
you understand
D
Em
you understand
Oh, I'm a man misunderstood,
D
Em
Bm
you understand
How did you like the song?
