Nina Simone - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood chords
Start Jamming...
[F#] [Bm] Baby, [A] you understand me now
[G] If sometimes [F#] you see that I'm mad
Don't [Bm] you know no one alive can [A] always be an angel
[G] When everything goes wrong you [F#] see some bad
But [D]
I'm just a soul [G] whose intentions [D] are good
Oh Lord, [E] please don't let me be [Bm] misunderstood
[Em] You [Bm] know sometimes, baby, [A] I'm so carefree
[G] With a joy that's [F#] hard to hide
[Bm] And then sometimes again it seems [A] that all I have is worry
[G]
And then you're bound to [F#] see my other side
But [D] I'm just a soul [G] whose intentions [D] are [F#] good
Oh Lord, [Bm] please don't let me be misunderstood
[A] [G] [A] I seem edgy, [G] I want [A] you to know
[G] I never [A] mean to take it [D] out on [Bm] you
[A] [G] Life [A] has its problems [G] and [A] I get more than my share
[G] But that's one thing I never mean [F#] to do
Cause I love you
[Bm] Oh [A] baby, I'm just human
[G] Don't you know I have thoughts [F#] like anyone
[Bm] Sometimes I find myself [A] alone regretting some little [G] foolish thing
Some [F#] simple thing that I have done
[D] But I'm just a soul [G] whose intentions are [A#] good
[Gm] Oh Lord, [Bm] please don't let me be misunderstood
[Em]
Don't [Bm] let me be misunderstood
[Em] I try so hard, so please [Bm] don't let me be misunderstood
[Em]
