G5G5             G5G5
Hey there, weird kid in your high-top shoes
        Csus2Csus2          Csus2Csus2
Sitting in the back of the class; I was just like you
G5G5       G5G5
Always left out, never fit in
Csus2Csus2      Csus2Csus2
Owning that path you're walking in

  (Use flat picking from part II of intro)

G5G5                    G5G5
Now, your buddies get their rocks off on Top 40 radio
    Csus2Csus2          Csus2Csus2
But you love your daddy's vinyl, old-time rock and roll
G5G5       G5G5
Elvis Costello, Ray Wylie Hubbard,
  Csus2Csus2        Csus2Csus2
and think Jeff Tweedy is one bad mother

Chorus

D MajorD                D MajorD
One day you'll lead the charge, you'll lead the band
Csus2Csus2      G5G5
Guitar Hero with lightning hands
    D MajorD                  D MajorD
And the girls will like your tattoos and the veins in your arms
      Csus2Csus2          G5G5
They'll be helpless to your musical charms
G5G5              Csus2Csus2
And they'll all hold up their hands
G5G5          Csus2Csus2
And they'll all wanna dance
G5G5      Csus2Csus2
Mr. Misunderstood
G5G5      Csus2Csus2

Verse (strum)
G5G5       Csus2Csus2         G5G5     Csus2Csus2
First time I met Alabama Hannah, I was skinny as a rail
G5G5          Csus2Csus2         G5G5           Csus2Csus2
Red hair tied up in a blue bandanna; she was hotter than the devil's Hell
G5G5         Csus2Csus2        G5G5          Csus2Csus2
She turned me on to Back Porch Pickers, Jackson Pollock, and gin
G5G5       Csus2Csus2           G5G5           Csus2Csus2
Her daddy didn't trust my intentions, so he turned to his daddy's old .410
G5G5      Csus2Csus2
Mr. Misunderstood
G5G5      Csus2Csus2
Mr. Misunderstood

Chorus

D MajorD           D MajorD
Had an ax to grind, so off I went
Csus2Csus2           G5G5
Mad at the sun for coming up again
D MajorD        D MajorD
I lost religion, found my soul in the blues
Csus2Csus2          G5G5
Rubbed the velvet off my blue suede shoes
G5G5              Csus2Csus2
Yeah, everybody held up their hands
G5G5               Csus2Csus2
And every soul on Beale Street danced
G5G5      Csus2Csus2
Mr. Misunderstood
G5G5      Csus2Csus2
Mr. Misunderstood

Verse

G5G5           Csus2Csus2
So I went with it like a colt on my Plymouth
      G5G5          Csus2Csus2
Through the glass behind my rear-view
Gmaj        Csus2Csus2         Gmaj   Csus2Csus2
Took a left when the world went right down 16th Avenue
G5G5          Csus2Csus2
Played with fire and I played on ledges
G5G5               Csus2Csus2
Every circus, stage, and county fair
G5G5             Csus2Csus2        G5G5        Csus2Csus2
I tried to file my points, sand my edges, and I just grew out my hair
G5G5      Csus2Csus2
Mr. Misunderstood
G5G5      Csus2Csus2
Mr. Misunderstood

Chorus

D MajorD             D MajorD
They're standing in line, chasing the buzz
    Csus2Csus2            G5G5
Til the next big things and already was
D MajorD             D MajorD
And hell if they know what they're trying to find
   Csus2Csus2             G5G5
If it ain't that same old, been-done kind
Gmaj              Csus2Csus2
Yeah, gives the head-scratchers fits
Gmaj              Csus2Csus2
Wondering how in the hell they missed
G5G5      Csus2Csus2
Mr. Misunderstood
G5G5      Csus2Csus2
Mr. Misunderstood
