Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

Joe Cocker

   Bmi                A
1. Baby, do you understand me now
   G                         F#
   Sometimes I feel a little mad
        Bmi                                  A
   Well don't you know that no-one alive can always be an angel
   G                                 F#
   When things go wrong I seem to be bad

   D                      Bmi  A
R: I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
   G                                    Bmi
   Oh Lord please don't let me be misunderstood

2. Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
   With a joy that's hard to hide
   And sometimes it seems that all I have to do is worry
   And then you're bound to see my other side

R: I'm just a soul...

   G          A       G           A
*: If I seem edgy, I want you to know
    G            A               D     Bmi/F#
   That I never mean to take it out on you
   G                A             G       A
   Life has it's problems and I get my share
        G                        F#
   And that's one thing I never mean to do, 'cause I love you

3. Oh, oh, oh, baby, don't you know I'm human
   Have thoughts like any other one
   Sometimes I find myself long regretting
   Some foolish thing, some little simple thing I've done
