Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood - Santa Esmeralda

[Intro] (C#m C#m B B - A A G# G# x2)    [Instru] (x2)

                                             C#m B

[Verse #1] Baby, do you understand me now    A  G#

Sometimes, I feel a little mad

But don't you know that no one alive     [Chorus]

    can always be an angel                  E C#m

When things go wrong, I seem to be bad      A A½

                                       C#m B A G#

'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood


[Bridge] (A-B x3) E-C#m - (A-B x3) E-G#

If I seem edgy, I want you to know

That I never meant to take it out on you

Life has its problems and I've got my share

That's one thing I never meant to do,

    'cause I love you


Baby, don't you know I'm (just) human  [Verse #2]

(And I've got) thoughts like any other man

And sometimes I feel myself alone regretting [Ch-

Some foolish thing (x2) I've done             or-

                                              us]

Oh, Lord, don't you let me be - Misunderstood

Don't let me be (x2) - Misunderstood, no (x6)


([Instru] (x6~12) [Intro] (x6) x2)  [Instru] (x2)

                                       [Verse #1]

Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree          [Chorus]

With a joy that's hard to hide

And sometimes it seems that all          [Chorus]

    I have to do is worry         Oh     [Bridge]

And then you're bound      [Verse #2] () (I have)

    to see my other side   [Chorus] [Instru] (x6)
