...DON'T LET ME BE MISUNDERSTOOD... by Yusuf Islam
-----------------------------------...............
*from 'An Other Cup' (2006)*
*CAPO 2nd FRET*
               F#m
(Original Key: )
Intro:
EmD C B7
       (x2)
Verse 1:
Em                    D
 People, do you under-stand me now,
C                              B7
 If sometimes, I feel a little mad?
Em                               D
 Don't you know no one alive can always be an angel?
C                                      B7
 When things go wrong, I seem a little sad.
Chorus 1:
    G                        Em
But I'm just a soul whose in-tentions are good.
Am        B7                              Em
 Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunder-stood.
Interlude:
EmBmEmBm
  ,   
Verse 2:
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.
Chorus 2:
    G                        Em
But I'm just a soul whose in-tentions are good.
Am        B7                              Em
 Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunder-stood.
Interlude:
EmB7EmB7
  ,   
Bridge 1:
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            D
 Life has its problems, and I get more than my share,
    C                                B7
But that's one thing I never mean to do; I don't mean it.
Verse 3:
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 a-lone,
           C
Regretting some little thing,
             B7
Some foolish thing that I have done.
Chorus 3:
    G                        Em
But I'm just a soul whose in-tentions are good.
Am        B7                              Em
 Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunder-stood.
Coda:
Bm                        Em
 Don't let me be misunder-stood;
Bm                         Em
 I'm just someone whose in-tentions are good.
D                         C
 Don't let me be misunder-stood,
B7                        Em
 Don't let me be misunder-stood.
