[Verse]
Am               G
Baby, do you understand me now

Sometimes I feel a little mad
Am
But don't you know that no one alive
    G
Can always been an angel
F                            E
When things go wrong I feel real bad

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Bb - Bb                                    Am
Oh, lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
 
 
[Verse]
Am               G
Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
F                         E
With a joy that's hard to hide
Am
And sometimes it seemed that
G
All I have to do is worry
F                               E
And then you're bound to see my other side
C                     Am
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

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

If I seem edgy I want you to know
F            G       C              Am
That I never mean to take it out on you
F             G       F           G
Life has it's problem and I get my share
F               G            C       E
And that's one thing I never mean to do
              Am

Oh, oh, oh, baby – don't you know I'm human

I have thoughts like any other one
Am
Sometimes I find myself
G
Lord, regretting
F                                     E
Some foolish thing, some little thing I've done

When he sings " OH, LORD", the right chord is a Bb, not a F. An this song was writen by Bennie Benjamin for Ninna Simone, The Animals did a cover, it's not the original version.

Yep, Bb chord over the 'oh, Lord'

hmmm yes the original is one thing - but these chords are for the Joe Cocker version and the chord in question is not Bb on the Oh Lord but Dm - the animals play it in Bm the same as Nina Simone and they do something different again on the Oh Lord part, but Elvis Costello's version definitely played Em (in the key of Bb)
