Poor Unfortunate Souls

Jonas Brothers

Transposer:

Decided that bass was not enough for the song.  Chords had to be fitting for it as well. The second part of the Verses with the chords have palm muting before each chord plays which occurs for most of the Bridge as well until the last chord in the Bridge.  This is why some of the chords are placed weirdly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Intro: ( | | | | ) X5 ( | | | ) Verse: N.C.        I admit that in the past I’ve been a nasty        They weren’t kidding when they called me kinda strange.        But you’ll find that nowadays I’ve mended all my ways.        Repented seen the light and made a change.        And I fortunately know a little secret.        It’s a talent that I always have possessed.        And dear lady please don’t laugh.     I use it on behalf        Of the miserable lonely and depressed (pathetic!)         Poor unfortunate souls in pain and in need.         This one longing to be thinner; that one wants to get the girl. And do I help them? Yes indeed!         Those poor unfortunate souls. So sad so true.         They come flocking to me crying "Will you help us pretty please?" And I help them! Yes I do! Pre-Verse: ( | | | | | | | ) Verse: N.C.        The men up there don’t like a lot of blabber.        They think a girl who gossips is a bore!        Yes on land it’s much preferred for ladies not to say a word.        And after all dear what is idle patter for?                      They’re not all that impressed with conversation        True gentlemen avoid it when they can        Yet they dote and swoon and fawn    on ladies who withdrawn        It’s she who holds her tongue who gets her man.         Poor unfortunate souls. Go ahead! Make your choice!         I’m a very busy person and I haven’t got all day. It won’t cost much: just your voice!         Those poor unfortunate souls. So sad and so true.         If you wanna cross the bridge my sweet. You’ve got to pay the toll         Take a gulp. Take a breath. Go ahead; sign the scroll.         Nick and Kevin now I’ve got her boys. The boss is on a roll.         Poor unfortunate souls in pain and in need.         This one longing to be thinner; that one wants to get the girl. And do I help them? Yes indeed!         Those poor unfortunate souls. So sad so true.         They come flocking to me crying "Will you help us pretty please?" And I help them! Yes I do! Outro:       D5                      G5        Those poor unfortunate souls.

La chanson évoque les manigances d'une femme qui a compris comment tirer parti des désirs des autres. Elle se présente comme une sorte de guérisseuse pour ceux qui souffrent, offrant son aide en échange de leur voix et en leur promettant une chance d'atteindre leurs rêves, même si cela implique de faire des sacrifices. On y retrouve un mélange d'humour noir et de manipulation, où elle parle des malheurs des âmes perdues qui viennent à elle, désespérées et prêtes à tout pour changer leur sort. Le contexte de cette chanson se situe dans une atmosphère sombre et mystique, où la protagoniste révèle sa capacité à influencer la vie des autres, tout en traitant avec ironie les conventions sociales de son époque, notamment l'idée que les femmes doivent se faire discrètes pour séduire. Cela permet d'explorer des thèmes comme la quête de pouvoir, les sacrifices et les conséquences des choix que l'on fait.
