Capo II *
EmDCB7
    2x
Em                  D
People, do you understand me now, 
   C                         B7
If sometimes I feel a little mad 
Em
Don't you know no one alive can 
D
Always be an angel 
     C                               B7
When things go wrong I seem a little sad 
    G                       Em           G
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good 
Am     B7                           Em  EmB7EmB7
                                       (   )
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood 
Em                         D
You know sometimes, I'm so carefree 
       C                  B7
With a joy that's hard to hide 
Em                   D
Sometimes seems that all I have is worry 
    C                                 B7
And then you're bound to see my other side 
    G                       Em           G
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good 
Am     B7                           Em  EmB7EmB7
                                       (   )
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood 
C         D       C           D
If I seem edgy, I want you to know 
C            D               Em
That I never mean to take it out on you 
C            D            C
Life has its problems and I get more 
        D
Than my share 
    C                        B7
But that's one thing I never mean to do 
I don't mean it 
Em                D
People, don't you know I'm only human 
C                                     B7
Don't you know I have faults like any one 
    Em                       D
But sometimes I find myself alone regretting 
C                       B7
Some little thing; some foolish thing 
That I have done, 
    G                       Em           G
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good 
Am     B7                           Em  EmB7EmB7
                                       (   )
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood 
B7                      Em
Don't let me be misunderstood 
B7                                    Em
I'm just someone whose intentions are good 
D                       Em
Don't let me be misunderstood, 
D                       Em
Don't let me be misunderstood . . .
