Start Jamming...
I'm Ringo and I play the drums.
I'm Paul and I play the bass.
I'm George and I play a guitar.
I'm John and I too play a guitar.
Sometimes I play the fool.
And now for all of you youngsters who have been very, very good tonight,
I'm very proud of you.
Here are The Animals.
[Bm] [Em]
[Bm] [Em]
[Bm] Baby, do you [A] understand me now?
[G] It's sometimes dark, seems to be [F#] May.
[B] But don't you know that no one alive can [A] always be an angel?
[G] And when things go wrong I seem to be [F#] mad.
[D] I lose [Bm] intentions with [Em] good.
Oh Lord, please don't let me be [Bm] misunderstood.
[Em] [Bm]
[Em] [Bm] Baby, sometimes [A] I'm so carefree.
[G] With a joy that's hard [F#] to hide.
[B] And then again it seems that [A] all I have to do is worry.
[G]
And then you're bound to see my other [F#] side.
[D] But I'm just a soul [Bm] whose intentions are good.
[Em]
Oh, please don't let me be [Bm] misunderstood.
[A] [G] If I [A] get itchy, [Gm] I want you to [A] know
[G] that I [A] never mean to [Bm] take it out on you.
[G] [A] Life has its problems, [G] and [A] I've got my share.
[G] And that's one thing I [F#] never need to do.
Cause I [B] love you.
Oh, [A] baby, don't you know that I'm human?
[G] I have thoughts like any other [F#] woman.
[B] Sometimes I find myself [A] alone, regretting
[G] some foolish thing, some [F#] sinful thing I've done.
[D] I'm just a [Em] soul whose intentions are good.
Oh Lord, please don't let [Bm] me be misunderstood.

I'm just a soul [Em] whose intentions are good.
Oh Lord, please don't let me be [Bm] misunderstood.
