Santa Esmeralda - Don't Let Me be Misunderstood
 
Tabbed by Arian Hojat
 
this is a cover of the Animals original version but deserves it owns tab with the changes, esp intro.
This song is played at some point and u know some shiz is about to happen in KILL BILL
1 and used since in alot of other movies/trailers. yet no tabs out there yet, so here it is.
 
[This intro chord riff repeats itself through the song and starts it off after the clapping castinet things]
down up up up up   down up up up up     down up up up up     down (down down )
Am                 G                    F                    E
 
 
[Solo]
 
[Then breaks into flamenco style fast! play at your own speed, it still sounds decent
at half their speed. Note this is just based off what i hear, they might have added somelicks.]
 
                                                           ^same lick but quieter

[might wanna play below part in a jazzy funk style]
 
Am           G
Baby, do you understand me now?,
F                  E
Sometimes I feel a little mad
 
Am                                        G
But, don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel
F                      E
When things go wrong I seem to be bad
 
Am               Am        C               C    F       F
Cause I'm just a soul, whos intentions are good, Oh lord, Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
 
 
let each strum ring until next chord
F        G         F        G
if...    edgy... want..   know
 
 
F        G         C        Am
that...  meant...  out...  you
 
F        G         F        G
Life...  problems... I've...   share
 
 
F  ----- F       E
that...  never...mean--  do...    love
 
back to playing Am, G, F, E jazzy funk style
and repeat parts above when repeat themselves

Cheers for the tab man, just to say that the chorus, the Am & C should be switched: C C Am Cause I'm just a soul, whose intentions are good F F F Am Oh lord, Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

dude you cant hammer on backwards. "10h9h10" the first one should be "p" for pull off.
