[Intro] G Cadd9 G Cadd9 [Verse 1]
G
Hey there, weird kid in your high-top shoes

Cadd9
Sitting in the back of the class; I was just like you

G
Always left out, never fit in

Cadd9
Owning that path you're walking in

G             Cadd9       G             Cadd9
Mr. Misunderstood,        Mr. Misunderstood
[Verse 2]
G
Now, your buddies get their rocks off on Top 40 radio

Cadd9
But you love your daddy's vinyl, old-time rock and roll

G
Elvis Costello, Ray Wylie Hubbard, 

Cadd9
and think Jeff Tweedy is one bad mother

G            Cadd9       G             Cadd9  
Mr. Misunderstood,        Mr. Misunderstood
[Chorus]
D 
One day you'll lead the charge, you'll lead the band

Cadd9            G
Guitar Hero with lightning hands

D
And the girls will like your tattoos and the veins in your arms

Cadd9                       G
They'll be helpless to your musical charms

G                              Cadd9
And they'll all hold up their hands

G                      Cadd9
And they'll all wanna dance

G                   Cadd9        G            Cadd9
With Mr. Misunderstood,          Mr. Misunderstood
[Verse 3] (Strummed)
G                Cadd9           G                 Cadd9
First time I met Alabama Hannah, I was skinny as a rail

G                     Cadd9                 G                        Cadd9   
Red hair tied up in a blue bandanna; she was hotter than the devil's Hell

G                    Cadd9              G                    Cadd9
She turned me on to Back Porch Pickers, Jackson Pollock, and gin

G                          Cadd9             G                      Cadd9
Her daddy didn't trust my intentions, so he turned to his daddy's old .410

G                 Cadd9         G             Cadd9
I'm Mr. Misunderstood,          Mr. Misunderstood
[Chorus 2]
D
Had an ax to grind, so off I went

Cadd9                    G
Mad at the sun for coming up again

D      
I lost religion, found my soul in the blues

Cadd9                    G
Rubbed the velvet off my blue suede shoes

G                             Cadd9
Yeah, everybody held up their hands

G                               Cadd9
And every soul on Beale Street danced

G                  Cadd9        G             Cadd9
With Mr. Misunderstood,         Mr. Misunderstood
[Verse 4] (Faster)
G                        Cadd9                     
So I went with it like a colt on my Plymouth

G                                Cadd9       
Through the glass behind my rear-view

G                    Cadd9                 G       Cadd9
Took a left when the world went right down 16th Avenue

G                     Cadd9                          
Played with fire and I played on ledges

G                             Cadd9                 
Every circus, stage, and county fair

G                          Cadd9              G                  Cadd9
I tried to file my points, sand my edges, and I just grew out my hair

G                  Cadd9      G                   Cadd9         
I'm Mr. Misunderstood,        I'm Mr. Misunderstood
[Chorus 3]
D                                                                                
They're standing in line, chasing the buzz                                                     

Cadd9                       G
Til the next big things and already was

D
And hell if they know what they're trying to find

Cadd9                      G
If it ain't that same old, been-done kind

G                              Cadd9
Yeah, gives the head-scratchers fits

           G                    Cadd9
Wondering how in the hell they missed

G            Cadd9        G            Cadd9
Mr. Misunderstood,        Mr. Misunderstood
[Verse 5]
G 
Hey there, weird kid in your high-top shoes

Cadd9
Sitting in the back of the class; I was just like you

G             Cadd9
Mr. Misunderstood (I understand)
(x5)
G                      Cadd9
I'm Mr. Misunderstood (let's go out of here)
