[G5]Hey there, weird kid in your[G5] high-top shoes
Sitting in the [Csus2]back of the class; I was[Csus2] just like you
[G5]Always left out,[G5] never fit in
[Csus2]Owning that path[Csus2] you're walking in
(Use flat picking from part II of intro)
[G5]Mr. Misunders[Csus2]tood
[G5]Mr. Misunders[Csus2]tood
[G5]Now, your buddies get their rocks off on [G5]Top 40 radio
But you [Csus2]love your daddy's vinyl, [Csus2]old-time rock and roll
[G5]Elvis Costello, [G5]Ray Wylie Hubbard,
and [Csus2]think Jeff Tweedy is [Csus2]one bad mother
[G5]Mr. Misunders[Csus2]tood
[G5]Mr. Misunders[Csus2]tood
Chorus
[D]One day you'll lead the charge, [D]you'll lead the band
[Csus2]Guitar Hero with [G5]lightning hands
And the [D]girls will like your tattoos and the [D]veins in your arms
They'll be [Csus2]helpless to your musical [G5]charms
[G5]And they'll all hold up their [Csus2]hands
[G5]And they'll all wanna [Csus2]dance
[G5]Mr. Misunders[Csus2]tood
[G5]Mr. Misunders[Csus2]tood
Verse (strum)
[G5]First time I met[Csus2] Alabama Hannah, I was[G5] skinny as a[Csus2] rail
[G5]Red hair tied up in a[Csus2] blue bandanna; she was[G5] hotter than the devil's[Csus2] Hell
[G5]She turned me on to[Csus2] Back Porch Pickers,[G5] Jackson Pollock, and[Csus2] gin
[G5]Her daddy didn't[Csus2] trust my intentions, so he[G5] turned to his daddy's [Csus2]old .410
[G5]Mr. Misunders[Csus2]tood
[G5]Mr. Misunders[Csus2]tood
Chorus
[D]Had an ax to grind, so [D]off I went
[Csus2]Mad at the sun for coming [G5]up again
[D]I lost religion, [D]found my soul in the blues
[Csus2]Rubbed the velvet off my [G5]blue suede shoes
[G5]Yeah, everybody held up their [Csus2]hands
[G5]And every soul on Beale Street [Csus2]danced
[G5]Mr. Misunders[Csus2]tood
[G5]Mr. Misunders[Csus2]tood
Verse
[G5]So I went with it like a[Csus2] colt on my Plymouth
Through the[G5] glass behind my rear-[Csus2]view
[Gmaj]Took a left when the[Csus2] world went right down [Gmaj]16th Aven[Csus2]ue
[G5]Played with fire and I[Csus2] played on ledges
[G5]Every circus, stage, and county [Csus2]fair
[G5]I tried to file my points, [Csus2]sand my edges, and I [G5]just grew out my [Csus2]hair
[G5]Mr. Misunders[Csus2]tood
[G5]Mr. Misunders[Csus2]tood
Chorus
[D]They're standing in line, [D]chasing the buzz
Til the [Csus2]next big things and already [G5]was
[D]And hell if they know what [D]they're trying to find
If it [Csus2]ain't that same old, been-done [G5]kind
[Gmaj]Yeah, gives the head-scratchers [Csus2]fits
[Gmaj]Wondering how in the hell they [Csus2]missed
[G5]Mr. Misunders[Csus2]tood
[G5]Mr. Misunders[Csus2]tood
Verse
